happy pride

[torsamors-deactivated20250510]

okay so spock (the alien in blue) essentially goes into heat. like literal heat like an animal. Anyway, spock’s in bloodlust in this episode and must go back to vulcan to have sex with his finace (or someone. but its supposed to be his fiance) or he’ll literally die. this is called pon farr and some backstory spock is half human and thought he wouldnt go through pon farr so he abandoned his HOT fiance to fuck around in space except oops pon farr happens so. he and kirk (in yellow getting his tits cut open, he’s also spocks captain and best friend) and their other friend mccoy go to vulcan so he can have sex with his fiance or get married or whatever so he doesn’t die. but then spock’s fiance (t’pring) is like no i dont want to marry spock i want to have him fight someone to death (which she can do) and spock at this point is fully in the ‘blood lust’ and is basically not in his right mind and doesnt get what’s happening. and t’pring picks kirk to be her ‘champion’ in the fight (her logic is that if spock dies in the fight she doesnt have to marry him and if kirk dies, spock will be so upset with her he won’t marry her anymore anyway). anyway kirk doesnt know that its a fight to the death and so he’s like of course i’ll do this fight if it’ll help spock and then he gets told it’s a fight to the death and he goes WHAT and right afterwards spock slices his titties open like in the gif. also eventually spock and kirk roll around in the sand and kirk fakes his death and THIS somehow knocks spock out of his blood lust and he goes back to the ship super sad bc he’s killed his ‘best friend’ only to discover kirk’s alive and we see one of his biggest smiles of the series (a big deal bc spock is vulcan and they dont show emotion). anyway this aired as the season opener in 1967. know your history and all that happy pride

Apolitically killing bandits and savages in my video game with no messages

[diet-poison]

asked the skyrim bandits why they were living in a cave and they explained the war effort has buried the economy so they can't find work and lost their homes. I use my shout to blast them across the cave and find a preeeetty nice sword among their belongings

[sapropel]

The bandits and savages attacking on sight with innocent corpses in their lairs are part of my apolitical worldbuilding to avoid all messages in my video game

[beemovieerotica]

one cool thing about having an autistic dad whose special interest is underwater spearfishing is that when he catches fish he'll just call up a nearby chinese restaurant like "hi. i caught a fish. can you cook it and i'll bring my family by?" and they're like "yeah sure come on over white boy" and the fish is delicious.

[beemovieerotica]

it's worth adding that my mom is chinese and she always gets embarrassed by this. like she doesn't want to come to the restaurant with us. she doesn't want to be seen with the white man she caught plus the fish that her white man caught. everyone who works at the restaurant thinks my dad is awesome and compliments him + her for choosing him and we all find this very fun except for her.

immediately after an interaction: i have GOT to get more normal oh god i need to get more normal immediately i have to get more normal or they're going to hunt me down they're going to hunt me down and flay me for sport

during an interaction: and why not put a little spin on it? why not add some conversational zest?

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

scientists on this post: yuuuup 👍

people who aren't scientists: um actually ☝️

My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

Legolas please gain a sense of urgency

[knives-in-the-dishwater]

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."

[taavicleric]

"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

[antigonickpdf]

my favourite part of the teaser is that lestat is actually relatively mellow for most of it, like he takes louis’ teasing fairly goodnaturedly and talks about painful topics without spiralling or lashing out. even when he’s genuinely extremely upset by the book thing, he’s clearly trying to process it in his own way and even attempts to communicate his hurt instead of just getting vicious. but then he hears armand’s name from across the room and you can pinpoint the precise moment Hysterical Cunt Lestat logs back on. those two syllables are all it takes before he’s visibly deciding to be crazy again, and the very next thing he does is scream in a stranger’s face then storm out. after which point presumably he went straight home to flush his mood stabilisers and shred his DBT workbook with his teeth, because mommy dearest is BACK and she’s ready to be WORSE THAN EVER!

bbc merlin has a lot of faults but i do think the way they blithely ignored the existence of christianity was very funny of them

[beautifulscreaminglady]

#just a near total complete absence of any sign of christianity whatsoever. it's actually impressive.#in their arthuriana! they deleted christianity from their arthuriana!!!!#'old religion' they said. and then simply said nothing of a new religion

the true banality of evil is that any evil that harms more than a couple people is done weeks before, miles away, in a board room after a long discussion about profit percentages. papers are signed, accounts move around, and families that the people in the board room will never know are there starve to death.

Gruesome, bloody crimes kill a few people and are studied for decades after. The patent for a medication changing hands silently ends thousands of lives that are never mentioned further out than "My aunt died. I need some time off work."
