dragon age origins is just. one goth sheltered young adult who did not have the opportunity to learn any social skills. one golden retriever sheltered young adult who did not have the opportunity to learn any social skills. concerned grandma two wine chalets from streaking. weed lesbian. and you. the only braincell who gets no thanks.

All the seasons of Supernatural, as summarized by Ao3 tags:

Most of these tags came from @dear-ao3​!

if you want to revitalize your relationship with tumblr just abandon it and go be exclusively on twitter for a year and that year is 2020. like choosing to shut yourself in a dark box scrambling your own brain with a cobbler's awl for 18 hours a day. nightmare slide projector of apocalyptic "news" flickering unstoppably past your eyeballs until your blood is so thick with stress hormones that you're essentially circulating pure meth, and the resulting derangement makes you think it is your Responsibility To Post because of Awareness. not here, baby! i love to scroll for an hour and see nothing but gifs from obscure early-'00s luca marinelli movies. oh, sure, you apparently can't put the word "butt" in the tags anymore, but that's barely a blip on the radar of ridiculous social media platform choices. this is the garden of fucking eden to me now

there was one week that i genuinely enjoyed twitter and that week was when trump got covid. every other week has been awful.

if i shelve His Dark Materials and Narnia next to each other will they fight when i’m not looking

[agreyeyedgirl]

@raithnait I dare you

[raithnait]

Do you know how very many books fall in between Lewis and Pullman??? It is very many, at least 7 shelves.

[agreyeyedgirl]

FOR! SCIENCE!

[agreyeyedgirl]

What is the worst that could happen???

Later:

oh

oh no

OOPS

[karis-the-fangirl]

For the record I sent @raithnait a message in the middle of the day that said ‘meet me in the junior section with two knives and some rubber bands’ and her only response was ‘can it wait until after I get back from lunch’

[briarin]

I never read the books. Context?

[scottandhiskind]

The Chronicles of Narnia are essentially a thinly-veiled, 7 book allegory for Christianity. Phillip Pullman, the author of The Golden Compass, was a vocal atheist and openly despised The Chronicles of Narnia because of its Christian themes. Pullman wrote the “His Dark Materials” series as a response to the Chronicles of Narnia, where he heavily critiqued organized religion, particularly the Catholic Church

[gothtistic-stims]

ANOTHER Autistic tag yourself? On my blog?? It’s more likely than you think.

The Booksellers (D.W. Young, 2019)

[baaikha]

This hits on a really important point libraries have been trying to get across for YEARS!

Data rot is a thing. Look around for a file you made 7 years ago and you’ll have trouble opening it, if at all. I’ve lost entire novels this way.

A book? That will last for centuries. I can throw a book in a deacidification bath and guarantee it a long life. But a computer file? It’s only a matter of a very short time.

And ebooks have the issue of license agreements. You don’t buy ebooks. You license them. You purchase the ebook license and suddenly, a year later, you don’t have it because of license terms that you don’t understand and are under the control of the publisher.

Book stores aren’t dying because of millennials. Millennials are really the driving force behind saving them. What’s really killing bookstores is a combination of cost of print vs value, average salary compared to inflation, and the monopoly of large book sellers hedging out the market and driving up the price of print.

#anastasia (1997) actually fucking me up since i was 4 years old

This Dimitri is straight out of a Russian novel

[senka-mesecine]

his character really is more of a prince by sheer default then nearly any actual disney prince out there and you may all fight me on this - he excudes that decent slavic sadness™ centrified all the way

[laskulls-deactivated20250318]

tip: don’t diagnose everyone with “you love villains because you want to fix them” like bitch im not coddling no toxic boyfriend. we are a villainous power couple

How to explain the difference between the Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion to the Uninitiated

The Lord of the Rings summed up: There’s some good in this world and it’s worth fighting for. 

The Silmarillion summed up: There are three small pieces of good left in the world, and fighting for them is a catastrophically bad idea in all circumstances.

Hey y'all with sensory issues and tactile sensitivity, have you guys ever experienced unexplained worsening of your sensory issues?

I've been sensitive to certain fabrics and textures my entire life but up until now, it's always been very manageable.

these past few months, my tactile sensitivity has gone through the roof. It's gotten to the point where even hearing fabric rustling together is too much
