my senior english teacher told me that any scene with a woman in a cornfield in every piece of literature ever is about her journey to womanhood/pleasuring herself in the field and i just.... believed her

was outside earlier and a bird Came Up, squatted down, fluttered it’s wings at me and opened its mouth like a hatchling begging for food (it was a grown female) so I went and checked the seed cube in the feeder and the thing was completely covered in mold. this is one of the weirdest things that’s ever happened to me. how did she know im the one in charge of the birdseed. How Did She Know To Pantomime Hunger At Me. Hello.

ilya still inside shane after sex, head lying on top shane and he lifts a little to look at his husband “wait a little and we go again” and shane asks “again?” and ilya goes “shane im addicted to you. is worse now that im seeing you every day, i want you all the time. im sick and you’re my disease. you’re a virus that took all over my body” and shane stares at ilya but burst out laughing asking “you’re calling me a virus?” and ilya’s like, while he leans to kiss shane “yes i can’t get rid of you, there’s no remedy for that i wake up thinking of you and go sleep thinking about you” and shane kiss his husbands and says “that’s beautiful ilya but we really need to get up and eat breakfast” and ilya whines “no shane one more time” and shane just laughs and shakes his head but he’s not making any move to actually get up

tim who hallucinates kon so frequently and vividly after kon’s death, the hallucinations don’t stop when kon comes back. instead, tim can’t tell when it’s kon or a hallucination.

one night, young justice get black out drunk together. tim, who thinks he’s hallucinating kon again, kisses him when they get a moment alone. tim, who is surprised that he can feel the hallucination this time. tim, who’s too drunk to realise that this is real, what they’re doing together right now, is real.

they end up spending the night together.

tim looks over at kon, memorising his features under the moonlight, reaches out and caresses his cheek.

“weird…you’re normally gone by now…”

kon, who thinks tim is talking about before his death, when they would share a bed and cuddle before kon goes back to his room, takes tim’s hand and presses a kiss to his knuckles.

“i’ll never leave you again. i love you too much.”

For those of you wondering if he’s having fun, YES!!!! HE IS!!!!!

Ferrets are good with letting people know what they do and don’t like, and with the way hes just gone floppy, hes having a blast.

Also iirc his human has stated that he will demand the spins.

Ferrets can be so much silly fun.

This is like those animals that make their running wheels go super duper fast on purpose so that they can stop running and spin on it.

Hot take but praise is a good tool for encouraging healthy behavior. Positive reinforcement is good. Relying exclusively on punishment to change people's behavior is both cruel and ineffective. If someone does better than they did yesterday, let them know you appreciate it, let them know that they're improving!

orcboxer

"Don't praise anyone for doing the bare minimum" is a shitty take that prioritizes your sense of superiority over the actual betterment of people. I understand that things shouldn't be as bad as they are, and anger can often be justified, but you need to get over the propaganda that kindness is naïve, that cynicism and bitterness are intellectual. Withholding praise from those who haven't caught up with you doesnt actually help them, it doesn't motivate, it doesn't encourage, it only discourages them. It breeds bitterness and apathy, which are antithetical to empathy.

Growth isn't something you do on your own. People need support, they need community. Bootstraps won't get them there. Kindness will. Do you want results or do you just want to feel superior?

!!!!!!!!!!!

This isn't up for debate. We have the studies. Positive reinforcement is far & away the most successful method to not only change behavior but KEEP it changed long term. One of the most important things I learned for my psych degree.

Even after they come out, Shane is a private person. So is Ilya. And, look, Shane is very happy that the centaurs are so accepting. He really, really has to remind himself how relieved and happy he is about it. He also remembers that this is how locker rooms are. As captain of the metros, the amount of times he had to tell off a player for showing pictures of their girlfriend's breasts or ass to other players was uncomfortably high.

So he really should have expected the question, "so who is, you know, the man?"

"Excuse me?"

"Dude, you can't ask that," a very progressive Young advised. "You gotta ask who's the top. Not the man."

Shane exhaled slowly. He loves his team he loves his team he loves his team.

"That is private," Shane said firmly. "And inappropriate in the workplace."

He was, of course, largely ignored. And while neither him nor Ilya really enjoyed their team, their friends, the internet, and homophobic players guessing their bedroom arraignments, Shane was surprised that nearly everyone got it wrong.

The general consensus what that Shane was the man. His going out outfit was usually jeans and a t-shirt, Ilya's was tight leather pants and a leopard print with four buttons undone. When they drank, Shane got a beer and Ilya either got shots or the sweetest cocktail they had. Ilya was more flamboyant, Shane was more reserved. Ilya liked to bake, Shane liked to grill.

And yes, Shane was aware why all these seemingly innocuous personality traits accumulated to make Shane the man and Ilya the girl. Still, it didn't stop it being generally annoying, offensive, and uncomfortable. Nonetheless, Shane liked finding the silver lining in that this was something just for them to know.

Ilya finds it more amusing then Shane. And, like most things, tries to use it to his advantage.

"Shaaaane, carry my bag," Ilya held out his hockey bag.

"No."

"I can't believe you treat your girlfriend like this."

~*~

"Is it a happy bouquet or an 'i'm sorry' one?" Holmsberg asked as he and the rookies peered over Young's phone. "Get the all roses one."

"That's the most expensive one!"

"Dude."

"Shane," Ilya whined, calling their attention to him. "Why don't you ever buy me flowers?"

"That's messed up, dude," LaPointe shook his head.

"I'll buy you roses, Roz." Wyatt grinned.

"You will not," Shane grumbled.

~*~

"Ah," Ilya winced as he lowered himself on the bench.

"You okay?" Shane asked him. He had taken a hard check into the boards early in the game and, despite reassuring Shane he was fine, he knew his hip was killing him.

"Fine," Ilya said predictability. "Just sore. Will be fine in a minute."

"Hey," Zane nudged Shane's shoulder. "Go easy on him on game days, okay? We need him."

"Go easy?" Shane's eyebrows drew together. "What do you - Oh! No, that isn't - he - I didn't -"

"It's fine, man. Whatever you two-"

"No!" Shane interrupted. "He's still sore off of Richard's check - Not - Ilya, stop laughing!"

~*~

"Doesn't it bother you?" Shane asks Ilya one day.

"What?"

"That everyone assumes you're, you know," Shane gestured, a cute little blush on his cheeks. "The girl."

"There is no girl," Ilya raises his eyebrows and palms Shane through his pants. "I would know."

"Asshole," Shane scoffs. "You know what I mean."

"I know," Ilya smiled. "But no. It does not bother me."

"Why not?"

"Because it's hot," Ilya lifted his hands, over Shane's chest and up to his face. "That people can't even imagine you like this."

Ilya dips to kiss his neck and Shane's eyes flutter shut.

"Makes no sense," Ilya continued, hands roaming down to Shane's ass. "To me, I know this immediately."

"F-fuck off, you did not."

"Oh, I did," Ilya gripped his chin, forcing Shane to look at him. "I see you... those beautiful freckles and I know how desperate you are for it. So obvious. Thought everyone was looking at this boy thinking how good he would look getting fucked. How well he would take it."

"Ilya..."

"Shh," Ilya patted his face. "But I think is better this way. That only I get to even imagine you like this. Only I get to have it."

"Only you," Shane agreed readily, hands flying to the zipper on Ilya's jeans.

"Only for me," Ilya agreed, letting Shane take down his pants and boxers. He pressed down on Shane's shoulders, the slightest pressure getting him to sink down, eyes already heavy. Ilya ran his hand through Shane's soft hair, watching the gold of his wedding ring catch the room's low light. "Only for me. Forever."

Tuna melt au where Shane starts freaking out and so to distract him Ilya is like "I got the marble imported from Turkey, custom cut by a local contractor here in Boston" and Shane wants to have a freak out but he's always wondered about the quality of marble from Turkey, he got his counters from Italy and China but he saw options from Turkey and Brazil and wondered. He really should go, but now he's wondering if Ilya will answer his other questions like who was the architect that built this house and where did ilya find that tile that's in his guest bathroom. Basically Ilya using Shane's real estate fetish to keep him from running out during the tuna meltdown.

I think that genuinely would have worked in the sense that the utter insanity of the segue would shock Shane out of his panic attack.

Like he’s just cum, his brain is soup, the beast of heteronormativity is breathing down his neck, and he says,

‘I can’t. I can’t do this.’

and Ilya just replies

‘The light fixtures in the kitchen were imported from a designer in Spain.’

….

‘What?’

and now he’s so confused he can’t possibly leave.

I actually really liked how Nolan introduced the concept of Xenia within the movie and ultimately how he tied that into the Trojan War.

Like yes it’s been around for 3000 years that Paris broke the rules of xenia when he kidnapped Helen, but I love how Nolan also spun that on Odysseus with his Trojan Horse as well. Odysseus broke the rules, and with that he introduced a new standard of warfare and social interaction. He tied into the Sea Peoples which I thought was really interesting.

Zeus’s Law is broken within Ithaca’s palace and it is broke in Troy, and it is broken in Sparta, and everyone gets their comeuppance.

I actually really loved how they handled Odysseus PTSD within Troy itself and I think Nolan did it that way because of Emily Wilson’s introduction. I finished her translation of the Odyssey the night before I saw the movie and I was incredibly interested in how she wrote about the violence of war and how it was societally viewed. There were standards set in place even in its brutality, like with how they had temporary truces, one on one battles, and time to collect the dead. Brutality is accepted, but what does that actually do to a mind?

And within her translation, Odysseus is a shell of a man at times. He cries every night, he’s known as lamentful and sorrowful. There is a line when he first meets Telemachus for the first time, and he states something along the lines that he is the cause of all his sorrow. He blames himself for so much, and of course he would take the burden of Troy upon himself as well.

It’s more of a modern interpretation but I think he would be haunted by Troy. He’s haunted by the innocents that died, and the people that wear their faces. And I think that although they didn’t include the story of Astyanax, the Athena reveal was insanely well done and served its purpose.

The movie makes a point to show that dishonor spreads when you stop following the rules of hospitality and the rules of honor. It’s Paris, it’s Agamemnon, it’s Odysseus, it’s Eurylochus, it’s the rest of his men, and it’s Ithaca’s men as well. It all just spreads when you introduce something new and something cruel into the game.

The Troy sequences were arguably the best of the movie and it was just insane to watch in IMAX

i don't see nearly enough people talking about how shane, wyatt, and bood are going to be such a fun trio on the cens. like on montreal shane's best friends were dumbass extraordinaire hayden pike and slightly more observant slightly less dumbass extraordinaire jj boiziau. he's going to feel right at home with thing1 and thing2. dumb and dumber. it also helps that bood and wyatt are damn good at what they do and shane already respects them so he doesn't have to get past the why the fuck are you so okay with losing attitude that a lot of the others have. i have no worries about shane being loved by the cens but i think he deserves two particularly close friends to fill the gap hayden and jj are leaving
