Someone said “The slow burn of becoming yourself” and I think that might be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. It’s such a good reminder of how much it takes, how much character development, how much change, and beauty and courage it takes to reach your soul and I hope no one ever gives up on becoming themselves because it’s a never ending journey that only gets better.

New Fanfic just dropped!

I'll Believe in Anything (1470 words) by imsorryandthankyou Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Boy Meets World (TV 1993) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Shawn Hunter/Cory Matthews, Topanga Lawrence-Matthews/Cory Matthews Characters: Cory Matthews, Shawn Hunter, Topanga Lawrence-Matthews Additional Tags: Inspired by Heated Rivalry (TV), Coming Out Summary: This fic was inspired by the scene in Heated Rivalry where Shane comes out to Rose. It made me think that if Cory Matthews were to ever come out, it would have to be with Topanga's love and guidance, because otherwise, Cory would hide in the closet forever. And I don't want that for him. He and Shawn deserve to be happy together, and I think Topanga knows that.

So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.

Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!

[anzozi-everywhere]

Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about

[galaxianbitch]

It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.

[angrynebula]

unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong

[aimmyarrowshigh]

And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.

[whilereadingandwalking]

the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesn’t play. a true classic.

and! in a twist, it’s actually the most accurate depiction of archaeology across pretty much all media!

RIP to the legend

[silvermoon424]

This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.

Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.

Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.

When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.

Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.

Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.

As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.

His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."

Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.

Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.

What the duck?

[humanbeanisnotamused]

[Description: the video is captioned "Find the duck game", and we see several blindfolded women in hijabs groping around an enclosed ring while spectators look on, cheering and laughing . After a few seconds the camera pans so that you can see the duck, who is waddling around, casually yet resolutely resisting capture. Periodically the women collide with each other. They do not find the duck. End ID]

I like how everybody is paired off haha

[larssonadam]

#this looks more like an awkward sixth grade slow dance than it does hockey

[itsacpsideblog]

I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS. You see this all the time when there’s a fight or a scrum and suddenly everyone pairs up with a member of the opposite team and they just sort of …hold each other.

Someone on reddit asked about it. And it turns out there’s a logical-ish reason:

all of the other players pair off with their man to prevent anyone else entering into the fight … so it’s a form of self policing. 

[…] The players basically want to prevent 2 on 1, etc. fights and by finding a “hugging” partner so there’s no ganging up on one guy, even on accident. They do it because it’s fair. And it’s kind of cute sometimes.

so now we know! it’s fair…and cute.

NHL: You need to prevent other player’s from joining in the fight, make sure to hold them back

Hockey players, hugging: Got it.

the thing about the 12 steps of recovery is that they aren’t a cure; completing the steps doesn’t mean you’ve crossed a finish line and are in the clear. it’s a cyclical framework—something you live with day in and day out. it is not a reset button.

the step frank is on—step 9—has been called his ‘apology tour,’ but that fundamentally misconstrues the purpose of this stage: in recovery, there is a huge distinction between an apology and making amends—the latter being the proper language of step 9. an apology is often just words; an amend is ownership of past harm, a willingness to repair, and, most importantly, respect for the other person’s readiness.

step 9 even includes an 'except' clause: you don't clear your conscience at the expense of someone else's wellbeing. you can't force someone to forgive you, nor can you force them to listen. this clause is the ultimate safety valve of the program.

in the rooftop scene, frank is seeking absolution, but the steps ask for restitution. by effectively cornering robby—who has been sidestepping him all day—frank is prioritizing his own relief over robby’s comfort. even sober, the pattern lingers: the impulse to shape the situation until it produces emotional relief. almost like he wants the ‘high’ of being forgiven—or at least to be acknowledged by robby, more than he has been this shift so far.

real amends require consent. if the other person isn’t ready, the ‘amend’ is to respect that boundary—even if that means distance or silence—not to force a confrontation. apologizing while they were on that roof—trapped by the arrival of a patient—turns accountability into pressure. robby physically couldn’t rush off, making the moment all about frank, negating the very purpose of an amend: to return agency to the person harmed, to center their needs. if frank were truly focused on making amends to the ER—to robby—he would realize the best way to 'make right' his past is to stay sober, focused, and dependable—letting his actions speak louder than his words, especially when robby has already turned his words away several times this shift. instead, he added to the emotional pressure, forcing robby to react on frank’s timeline rather than his own, and making the act of accountability feel like an ambush rather than a meaningful amend.

robby’s response is a perfectly healthy boundary. what frank did is more than a simple apology can fix. as the attending—the chief!—it is literally robby's job to be on top of things; he is in charge of—and responsible for—the residents, their work, and the safety of every patient.

for a man who believes he should be omnipresent and all-seeing, missing frank’s struggle must have felt like a massive personal failure. robby isn't in the mindset to hear frank out because he’s still metabolizing the betrayal. amongst other things! trust isn't something you regain just because you’ve stopped the behavior; it’s something you earn back through consistency. in a job that requires an extraordinary amount of having each other's backs, robby has every right to say that bridge is still down. that it may never fully be rebuilt.

moreover, frank is likely caught in a kind of 'recovery urgency'—the breathless need to make things right as quickly as possible. he's clouded by his own desperation, especially when it comes to someone like robby, who has not only been his mentor, but arguably the person he looked up to the most. that history intensifies the pressure: frank wants recognition, validation, some amount of closure, and he feels a limited window what with robby leaving for sabbatical. in his mind, time is running out to 'fix' things, and that sense of frantic necessity can override judgement, making him push forward even when the other person isn't ready. i don't think frank is being malicious—he's just being impatient, and self-focused—which isn't how the spirit of the steps work. he's so busy trying to feel forgiven, to ease his own conscience in some way, that he's completely disregarding the actual point of the amend: that it belongs to robby, not him. the reality of it is that robby doesn't even owe him a conversation.

step 9 isn’t a negotiation for forgiveness. it’s a statement of fact—(e.g.: 'i endangered our patients, i lied to you, what i did was wrong.')—followed by an acceptance of the consequences. if the consequence is never speaking to that person again, being kept at a professional distance, or accepting that you are no longer 'the favorite,' then that is the amend. the response belongs to robby in this case, not frank.

one of the hardest lessons of the 12 steps—and one frank hasn’t fully learned—is that accountability repairs the self; it does not entitle you to a place in someone else’s future, nor does it guarantee reconciliation, forgiveness, or access to another person's trust. recovery is internal first. relationships may follow, but only on the timeline of the person who was harmed.

I'm glad that you got the help that you need. But I don't know that I want you working in my ER.

this is one of my favorite shots of him

the only time he's ever looked more in love was when this happened

[imsorryandthankyou]

This scene inspired an entire little fic about how Cory should just marry Shawn. And Topanga knows it.

“Why don’t you just marry Shawn?”

When Topanga had posed this question to Cory when they were eleven years old, his only complaint. His ONLY complaint was “Because our kids would look like horses.”

El needed the “independence from men” arc, not Nancy.

Steve needed the “it’s okay if your crush doesn’t like you back” arc, not Will.

Mike needed the “you’re braver than you think” arc, not Holly.

Mileven needed the “shared trauma doesn’t mean we’re compatible” breakup, not Jancy.

Byler needed the “I just needed you” resolution, not Lumax.

Either Willel or Elmax needed the “you understand me better than anyone” resolution, not Mileven.

They kept giving the right arcs to the wrong characters and the wrong relationships.
