Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

Anyone want a really angsty ASOIAF edit? No?

Mad At You Island is where the events of William Shakespeare's The Tempest take place

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

I haven’t named my car but you know what I have named? My work computer. I named her Camilla (after The Camilla Hect) so I wouldn’t get mad at her when my code doesn’t run. It’s been surprisingly effective. When the computer starts to overheat and the fan is working overtime I announce to the lab, “Camilla is yelling at me,” and you know what, it’s deserved. It must be my fault.

The only problem is when people ask who she’s named after. I usually just say a book character, but I live in constant fear that someone will ask me what book. How would I ever explain the lesbian necromancers in space book to a bunch of millennial/Gen X scientists (mostly men)?

I realized that while I’ve named my giant fuckoff desktop computer that I use to run my heavy-duty programs, I also have a work laptop that has yet to be named. It’s smaller but has a respectable amount of memory and I can still code on it, but the battery life is terrible and I fear it’s physically much weaker than Camilla. If it’s not constantly connected to an outlet it starts overheating and losing its mind. Is this Pal?

THEY’RE TAKING CAMILLA AWAY NO

Gideon: Palamedes wanted to tell you he loves you.

A while ago I made a Sunrise on the Reaping edit for fun and I finally updated it with footage from the trailer 😭 That hurt worse than I thought it would.

Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.

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?

I was teasing my husband about being susceptible to franchise-branded snacks (we currently have Pokémon goldfish in the house) and his counterpoint was: what, if they sold Locked Tomb mac & cheese, you wouldn't buy it? Touché. Of course I would. The noodles would be little skulls and swords

You know you needed to go back to PT when you’re sore as hell after just the evaluation appointment

[starlitmyre]

"what if they fucked" WRONG. what if they ruined each other's lives irreparably. what if there was nothing left but a smoldering heap. what if everything that brought them together twisted and corroded and ripped them apart. and then they fucked.
