England isn't a real country, stupid. England is a lie to sell you more Doctor Who
Wales is real though, where else would they film Doctor Who

im addicted to this video btw i quote it daily
idk there is just something abt black panther-era bucky with steve like, my body hasn't been mine for nearly a century and you're the only one i trust to see it and touch it and love it, i give myself over to you fully, you and only you, it's only ever been you
Imagine the level of whimsy I could reach if I just had $5M in my bank account rn
i think it's important for most people's mental health to have a space where they can safely and unashamedly express being horny and i don't mean milquetoast tongue-in-cheek "oh step on me mommy" jokes or whatever i mean capital h Horny
this is wholly genuine btw. repressing aspects of your personality 24/7 is actively unhealthy and damaging and you have to accept that sexual desire does not exist separately from your other personality traits.
in the same way as it's good for you to have somewhere where you can express your anger or grief or joy without filtering it through layers of irony to make it palatable to an audience, most people stand to benefit from having room to be openly sexual in ways that the format of socially-acceptable "relatable comedy" doesn't encompass
i'm the guy who writes the books that the protagonist in supernatural horror movies frantically reads somewhere in act ii. job's pretty easy. lot of "legends of vampires have recurred all throughout human history" and "demonologists agree that the quickest way to un-summon a demon is to trap it in a cursed object". no citations of course; they don't pay me citation money. i had to learn html back in the early aughts when everyone started seeking their supernatural info on websites they found via top search engines like FINDLER and WEBSIGHT but that's died down now which is great because i didn't have it in me to pick up css. currently working on a new book about horses that are evil. it's called HORSES THAT ARE EVIL in all caps so the protagonist can find it quickly to yank off the library shelf. it will be published 35 years ago.
undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal
This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except you’re not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and you’re just trying to keep up.
The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human
Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.
There is a kid out there who did every single one of his school essays and projects and short stories and friendly introductions at the beginning of the year about Shane Hollander. He did his book reports on the books Shane recommended in interviews. He saved his money to buy that stupid cologne Shane advertised. He got a puck from Shane once at warm ups and he slept with it in his bed for three weeks. He writes his moms name on his stick tape because Shane did it first. He watches the Olympics in awe. He gets into fights with kids at school about whose a better hockey player and its Shane all the way, no matter what the other kids told him or what their moms and dads said. Shane is the best.
And this kid did not have a lot of friends. His teachers thought he wasn't very smart because he made everything about hockey. And they dismissed him when he struggled with math and reading. "if you could just put some of your hockey energy into school, then maybe you would get better." His classmates laughed at the hockey themed valentines day cards him and his mom had to hand make because nowhere was selling hockey themed valentines day cards. And they laugh at him when he repeats the same thing over and over about "getting pucks deep, pucks deep, pucks deep." When he would play all by himself on the yard pretending he was skating, picking up any big stick he could find on the ground, they'd push him around. "Can we play? We'll be defenders" and ram him and take his stick. And he'd just go through all the penalties they would have just gotten over and over again until he can calm down. He celebrated every birthday at the ice rink in his full hockey gear even though he didn't really have classmates showing up. Not for lack of invite.
And his parents try to steer him away from it. They try and watch new sports, they try and get him to watch kids shows, get into things kids his age like, but all he wants to do is watch reruns of the metros cup wins. Wants to wear his hat backwards with his black shirt because that's how Shane looks in the interviews. Memorizes the answers he gives in french even though this kid never learned french in school. And its useless. This kid is hooked and they just kinda have to ride this wave.
So when the announcement comes for the Game Changers camp, these parents do absolutely everything to get him there. They don't care what it takes, this is like a light for all of them really in the midst of all the bullying at school and the meltdowns at home and the obsessive routines that fall apart if even one thing is out of place.
And they explain to the camp that their boy might have a hard time. Might need some time to adjust. That he struggles with math, and reading, and can get caught up in all the rules sometimes. Preemptively trying to say "he's not a bad kid. he's trying his best."
So at the end of the first day, his parents are prepared for a meltdown. Its new, its a lot of kids, the rink can get loud and cold, and he doesn't always do well with transitioning out of hockey. He's hard to pull off the ice at home.
And they can see some upset under the surface when they arrive. He clearly doesn't want to go home. Thats no surprise.
What is a surprise is the way Shane gets down on one knee next to where the boy is sitting upset on the ground. He doesn't move to touch him. He just gets down and the two of them softly have a chat. The boy is tugging on his hair and nodding at what Shane says. And eventually he stands and the parents walk over to them.
"You must be the parents. Its good to meet you," Shane says softly. "I was just going over some things about tomorrow. So that way he would know the schedule."
And they can see their son isn't quite happy, still clearly exhausted. He'll nap in the car and be grumpy at dinner. But he is much more regulated than they expected him to be.
"And, I was telling him about my schedule when I go home. About getting some quite time, making sure I can decompress. I think that's what all good hockey players need, right buddy?"
"Right buddy," he repeats.
And for all the understanding that seems to be there, his parents are just grateful that of all the things their kid could have a special interest in, its Shane Hollander.

Looking at the ages of the Avengers it’s always so jarring to see the difference between Steve and everyone else.
Using the release date of The Avengers (April 25, 2012), I’ve made a list of Marvel characters’ ages, youngest to oldest. (Not counting Peter Parker and Vision, who is like -2 years old. Wanda is 2 ages because her birth year was retconned in WandaVision).
Wanda Maximoff: either ±16 or ±22
Steve Rogers: ±26 years
Natasha Romanov: ±29 years
T'Challa: 31 years, 8 months
Sam Wilson: 33 years, 7 months
Stephen Strange: ±35 years
Pepper Potts: 40 years, 0 months
Clint Barton: 41 years, 3 months
Tony Stark: 41 years, 10 months
Bruce Banner: 42 years, 4 months
Scott Lang: ±43 years
James Rhodes: 43 years, 6 months
Phil Coulson: 47 years, 9 months
Nick Fury: 61 years, 9 months
See what I mean about it being “jarring”? All people in the room with Steve in The Avengers are older than him. Some of them even are older by literal decades.
I will never shut up about this because they literally put a 26 year old guy in a room filled with people older and more experienced than him, and then said “you’re their leader now, figure it out”.
And, looking at it from the other side, imagine Tony and Clint coming in and seeing that a guy who’s FIFTEEN YEARS younger than them has to lead them into battle. And when Steve meets Sam, they share an age difference of six whole years.
I know 26 is a full adult, but considering everything Steve has been through in his life it’s so shockingly young, and the way he was just thrust into the 21st century and made responsible for a team he knew nothing about is so sad.

i think part of why the book canon of shane hooking up with two other people works for me is thinking about how disappointing it must’ve all been. he probably goes into it feeling almost optimistic. like okay, enough time has passed. maybe ilya is out of my system. maybe this is just a body problem. an itch i can scratch with a little friction and somebody else’s mouth. and then of course the awful part is that it does feel good, just not in the right way. he spends the entire time feeling the lack. their hands on him but in all the wrong places. they don’t pin him down and kiss him on the backs of his knees or behind his ears, everywhere, all over. he spends the whole time missing the exact kind of attention ilya pays to him that has ruined him for sex with other people forever. the devotion. and by the end the real disappointment isn’t even that these other guys can’t compare. it’s that shane, on some level, already knew they wouldn’t. the worst part is that i don’t think shane is even being fair about it. these guys are probably attractive, probably competent, probably doing everything right. and it still doesn’t matter, because what he wants isn’t “good.” he wants that terrible, microscopic feeling of ilya seeing right through him. how he takes every horrible, dirty thought shane has ever had and makes it into something good and permissible. not only something he’s allowed to want but something he deserves to have. of course nobody else can compete with that. ilya taught shane’s body to answer to him specifically. how could anyone else possibly keep up.
also reblogging to add like. how crazy i think this makes shane about the sex they’re having in general. i think he would honestly become so obsessive and crazy about the fact that nothing else feels as good. only ilya can get so deep. only ilya can make him come hands free. only ilya can tell him what to do and make him actually want to do it. do you know how insane that could make a person. to believe there’s only one pair of hands and one dick and one mouth that can make you feel liquid and white noise down to your toenails. god
I feel like this also better highlights WHY Ilya was so jealous of Rose. In the books, Ilya knew about those hook-ups and didn't care. He wasn't jealous of those men. (IIRC he even used Shane's memories of those hook-ups for phone sex fodder, but I might be mixing up scenes here.) They were just sexual interactions and Ilya felt no insecurity there. But what Rose could seemingly have with Shane was a relationship. She could hold his hand in public, she could go to games in his jersey, she could meet his friends and family. THOSE were the things Ilya wanted most, and could not have. I see so many fics write Ilya being jealous of people thirsting over Shane and sure, sometimes it's just comedy. But tbh a lot of the time it feels like that spectacularly misses what Ilya was experiencing and longing for and dreading in the story of his relationship with Shane.
Some of the 2010s-era Loki stans were annoying but some of them were very justified. They put Tom Hiddleston in handcuffs and a muzzle. Then they put him in chains and a collar. Then they had him look waifishly sad in a prison cell. Then they put him in handcuffs again. Then they chained him up again. Where else were teenage girls going to see that.
I don’t care for the framing of Ilya being the “favorite son” bc it’s uninteresting to me. It removes all complexity from the dynamic of this is your son’s career long rival that you have a lot of internalized feelings towards and expectations and notions of who he is and always has been. And actually! he’s been having sex with your son since they were Rookies. They only recently became exclusive and only during This first meal with you have they seemingly labeled it. Okay. Now go. Be normal about this. Be immediately loving and perfect without misstep. And you fail. Because nobody can do that pivot that fast and it be anything but a farce.
And that’s much more fleshed out and reasonable to me than David & Yuna being the perfect mother/father-in-law to Ilya without an intense learning curve.
uhh my two cents are fucking each other
