Hello Elladius/Tadella shippers, I give you this prompt idea:

AU where Ella was able to marry the Prince, and Tadius is forced to stand by and watch her be miserable, suffering at the responsibilities of being a queen and wife. One night he can’t take it anymore, he’s standing outside of the royal bedroom with a knife, thinking “it’s for the queen, I have to do this for her”- planning to kill the Prince in his sleep, only once he sneaks in, he’s faced with Ella who is also holding a knife to the sleeping Prince’s neck. And the two just…stare at each other.

Your honor, I love them!

Oh so when Ella Ashmore finds out her Gods are false and gets power from a new more Eldrich one to defeat her enemies it's a good thing and she's seen as a hero. But when I, Grace Chasity-

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

[urlocalpyshcopan]

as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name

[brainsforbabyjesus]

for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!

I think I know how this works.

For personal context, before I went to the '98 Burning Man festival, one of the things I'd read from a couple different journalists was that "everybody" runs around naked. Which, fine by me, I'd already spent a lot of time in clothing-optional spaces, I'm not fanatic about it but it's nice.

So I got there early and set up a public shade structure on one of Black Rock City's main roads and spent most of each afternoon just watching the crowds go by. I don't remember seeing more than one actually naked person the whole week. I think a topless woman passed by my intersection maybe every half an hour, sometimes once an hour. So why in the hell were people, normally pretty smart and observant writers, coming away with the impression that everybody was naked?

Then I remembered an unrelated passage from Joel Garreau's great book about the history of the outer-ring suburbs, Edge City. Mall developers told him flat-out that they tried to keep the crowds in their malls less than 5% black. Not because they themselves were racist, but because they had determined, experimentally, that if more than 5% of the people in the mall are black, the median white shopper will wrongly describe the mall as at least half black, as mostly black. And not a few of them would describe it, at 6% black, as a mall where "only black people go." Why?

Because, emotionally, they were still upset over the last one when the next one came into view.

Same as the journalists describing Black Rock City as all naked. Same as the right-wing religious culture warriors describing television as entirely mixed-race and gender non-conforming. Not because it's even vaguely true, we know that, but because they haven't gotten over their discomfort over the last one by the time the next one comes along. The anger, not the stimulus, is the part that's continuous, so their mind lies to them that it's "all" the thing they can't get over.

Similar effect for the presence/proportion of women in things, by the way: https://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/human-nature/perception/how-17-equals-496-the-amazing-multiplying-women.htm

this has rewired some neural pathways for me

I was thinking about that moment in the Sound of Music where Captain Von Trapp rips up the Nazi flag. And then I thought there should be a version of that but with Bail Organa ripping up the imperial flag.

And then I thought, there should be an AU where Bail and Breha call up Obi-wan and go hey, we know you’re off being an ex-space-nun/monk but we have a whole bunch of children that we need your help raising. You should disguise yourself and come be our nanny.

And Obi-wan is like “???? I left you with one child what do you mean you have a whole bunch now??!?” And they’re like “we’re not telling you because the mystery is the only way we can get you to visit.”

So Obi-wan shows up and Bail and Breha have a whole mess of ex-padawans and initiates that they’ve found and rescued (definitely Caleb and Cal) and are now raising alongside Leia.

And Obi-Wan Kenobi cannot turn his back on that. More hope for the future than he even dreamed could exist. So he stays and teaches them how to hide themselves and eventually is convinced by Bail and Breha that it’s okay to teach them to hope too. That the have to believe that one day it will be safe to be a Jedi again and then they will need the teachings beyond just how to hide their force signatures.

Then Bail and Breha both seduce Obi-wan together.

But eventually someone tips off the empire (one of the padawans has shit taste in partners) and Obi-wan and all the padawans have to flee to Spitzerland (Space Switzerland).

Pick your own adventure whether any combo of Bail/Breha/Leia goes with them for as sweet an ending as you like (although I don’t think Leia could truly stay out of the fight for long, no more than Owen can keep Luke from longing for the stars)

Anyways this has been The Sound of Meditation, another of my “I don’t know who this is for, this might just be for me” AUs.

Vax, sad and tired: Kiki, can you do the thing?

Keyleth: What thing?

Vax: You know, the thing that always makes me happy

Keyleth: Oh

Keyleth: *smiles at him*

Vax: *softly* Thank you

british is not synonymous with white

european is not synonymous with white

the world is not divided into USA (melting pot), white countries and brown countries

"um you know the type of person I mean when I say british" hey do you think this line of thought may have Implications

my watery friend... are you too brushed with the pattern of the dappled light...?

[ID: a photograph of a seal with a blobby splotchy silver pattern on its back that resembles light refracting in water, next to a photo of light's flowing white stripes at the bottom of a pool. Second set of images is a fawn ccurled up in the grass, next to a forested trail aglow with dappled light spots. end id.]

Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.

Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.

You clearly said something wrong to get those reactions from them…

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.
