made a new fic!! enjouy

We shook hands (I knew we were gonna be good friends) (8291 words) by QueenBoudica Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Play That Goes Wrong Series - Lewis & Sayer & Shields, The Goes Wrong Show (TV 2019) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Lucy Grove & Trevor Watson Characters: Trevor Watson (The Play That Goes Wrong), Lucy Grove, Robert Grove, Chris Bean (The Play That Goes Wrong) Additional Tags: Friendship, Male-Female Friendship, Angst, Fluff and Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Good Friend Trevor Watson (The Play That Goes Wrong), Protective Trevor Watson (The Play That Goes Wrong), Lucy Grove Needs a Hug, and she gets one! (actually she gets several), Trevor Watson Needs a Hug, (not that he’d ever admit it), there is So Much hugging in this fic and I will not apologize, based on the stage version of peter pan goes wrong, but no knowledge of it necessary, not very robert friendly I'm sorry robert fans, but he's kind of a dick to lucy and trev is v protective of her so Summary: When Trevor found out that Robert's niece would be joining their production of Peter Pan, he was concerned that they'd have to deal with another big ego, and this time one without an adult’s self-control or rationality (as rational as Robert ever got, anyway). Then he meets Lucy and realizes that he'd been worried about the wrong thing.

Do you guys think Julian’s parents had a bad relationship, which lead to his negative views on the concept of marriage? Or was he just a professional slut and hater

ok I know everyone’s considered Ryland grace wearing an “I put the ace in space” t shirt but. have we considered the infinitely funnier option of putting this shirt on eva stratt

[vampirejuno]

Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw

Me in 2006: I’m still bitter about that

Me in 2016: I’m still salty about that

Me in 2026, probably: I’m still umami about that

[allaark]

Well, are you?. We’re waiting.

[berlynn-wohl]

There’s a lot to be umami about these days.

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"

[moodsandtenses]

I'm really enjoying the growing consensus in the notes that there's an Eternal Rivalry Between Vampires and Werewolves now, entirely because the werewolves, sick of Dracula's bullshit, have unionized.

Wednesday the 15th. What an excellent day. Middle of the week, middle of the month. Truly, we are in the middle of things.

every samurai movie ever made (both edo and bakamatsu periods): The bushido code is dying. there no more room left for samurai anymore…

me everytime: :(

[rickfuckingdalton]

A lot of westerns are remakes of samurai movies

[bonesawcagematch]

those samurai movies were very often heavily inspired by 50′s and 40′s westerns

[simon-newman]

Cowboys and samurai are brothers separated by time and space.

[eric-coldfire]

Best duo.

[breadgunner-deactivated20200418]

I’ve got y’alls new favorite art piece right here.

[phoxxent]

According to Google, Samurai were abolished in 1868.

This means that at the same time that cowboys were reaching their end, so too were samurai.

Cowboys and Samurai were separated not by time, only space.

I’ve got something else to add to this: there’s also an extremely specific species of mushroom that can only be found in Texas and Japan. I’m serious.

@britonell your tags I’m dying xD

[pansyfemme]

i really salute all pregnant trans men who share their journey online because if i was going through pregnancy already (which is more than i could ever do, hats off to you) and also dealing with the dysphoria and social alienation of being a pregnant man and i posted it on the internet to show that it’s a possibility and people just made 1000 omegaverse and mpreg jokes at me i think i might run away forever and never come back

[pansyfemme]

given the state of the world right now, the risk of even existing as a pregnant man is high. But then whenever you see a tiktok by a seahorse dad instead of any respect for the op the comments are all like “LOL MPREGGED” or showing disgust like genuinely can we be normal for once

art museum websites when the artist was a communist: ...he continued to paint, despite the fact that every time someone in Soviet Russia made abstract art Joe Stalin would personally storm into their studio and start tearing apart the canvas with his teeth

art museum websites when the artist was a nazi: ...his work flourished from 1937–1945, a time where nothing particularly notable happened, and then he emigrated to the united states where he designed buildings for private universities

[psychotic-gerard]

love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.

[roguebombshell]

I remember when I was about 12, I watched a show on TLC that followed people as they got somewhat uncommon medical procedures.

There was one episode with a trans woman getting different gender-affirming operations, including breast implants. It showed the procedure, and (what I found so fascinating that it's stuck with me for decades), as soon as the doctor put the implant in, a censor blur popped up on the nipple.

And you just know there was a meeting between the TLC lawyers and the editors and producers of the show to discuss what the difference was between a "man nipple" (can be shown) and a "woman nipple" (no no must obscure, 'tis naughty). And they decided that as soon as the implant goes in and the nipple has more mass behind it, that's the moment when it becomes a woman's nipple and must be hidden to comply with TV rules.

But it's the same nipple. On the same person. I know what it looks like; I just saw it. But TV and obscenity rules are rules, and the rules say woman nipple = sexual and therefore explicit, but man nipple = neutral, just fine.

"Free the Nipple" was calling out arbitrary bullshit like that, because someone just existing with their body parts should not be considered obscene, and the double standard that men can be topless but women can't is so blatantly ridiculous. All nipples are just nipples. If you get turned on or bothered by them, that's on you.

[lakemojave]

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[lakemojave]

Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs
