"Just you and me, bud"

[podcastwizard]

hey sorry it's just that i don't think i'm very good at being a person. thanks for letting me try with you, anyway.

[homunculus-argument]

Squatters' rights apply to grandmas. If someone's not visiting and looking after their grandma, but you will, after a set amount of time once you've settled in, that's your grandma now.

[shoutingtothevoidtilldeath]

Someone tried to do that with my grandma once. The guy tried to become her kid so they could inherit the house and money.

My grandma people pleases in a way where she lies all the time, so it was really hard to figure out whether or not she wanted to be in that situation, but after she was started to disown my mom (who would travel a couple hours every week to see her) we started fighting the guy. We’re now in a legal battle because he’s been using some sort of squatter’s/tenet’s rights to keep her house, and has had access to the grandma credit card(cuz she just let him borrow it). And my people pleasing grandma is now staying with us, and says she seething hates the guy.

[homunculus-argument]

Idk who needs to hear this, but this is your reminder to go clear out unwanted squatters from your grandma.

my mom’s trans allyship is on another level

[joeyclaire]

she once called my friend’s deadname “that stupid thing his mom calls him”

[asideoftrashplease]

I was once talking to my 75 year old Chinese dad in passing about a trans friend of mine not getting along with her family and he asked why and I said err, because she's trans, dad.

He asked: "Oh, was she the only son or something before *waves hand*?" and I was like, warily, no she has two brothers. And he responded with a great deal of confusion: "Then what's their problem?!?!"

Later on: "Anyway, even if she WAS the only son, that's not her problem, that's THEIR problem. They should have had more sons if they were going to be bothered about it."

[jackdaw-kraai]

Knowing what I know about chinese culture there’s something so beautifully simple about his logic of “no son to carry on family name/look after them in old age/all the other stuff? Skill issue! Should’ve had more sons! Should’ve kept the family unit strong yourself! Blaming your daughter for your own failure of family planning is W E A K!” and then he learns there are more sons and it completely breaks his train of logic because if yes to more sons then why issue?? You have two others and you’re mad you don’t have three?? Whack. Greedy.

I can already envision him as an ancient lord of a powerful house looking down his nose at the latest messenger bringing gossip from the house of his offspring’s friend and going “now they have a daughter to marry into another family for powerful alliances and two sons to take over her former duties and somehow they’re still complaining about their good fortune? They shall not survive the winter.” and then sipping his tea with all the grim satisfaction of someone about to watch an unnecessary soap opera of drama unfold from a safe distance or something

In honor of fox's tongue and kirin's bone book 3 chapter 1, here's my book 3 predictions

I wrote these on my last reread and forgot about them, but the door story epigraph already came true, so I figured it was worth posting lol

[muffinlance]

Are you going for blackout bingo

[ecobanshee]

This is some of the most straightforward characterization Grace gets in the book and it's hilarious

[akdw]

absolute perfection in a single paragraph. From this, we can see:

Grace has a warped self-perception. He insists he's not a "people person" but gets along with majority of the crew, is a literal middle school teacher who the kids love

he's so sassy bro. "I seem friendly only bcuz I stood next to Stratt"

also establishes why so many ppl thought Grace was second-in-command, like he's usually always standing next to Stratt

Grace just does not know how important he is to the project lol

[l4byr1nthz1]

[vinnybox]

[theo-window]

What did he do to deserve this

[rain-droplet]

punished by the council

[ravioliet]

never kill yourself. you have to fill your mutuals dash with shit they don't care about forever, okay?

[samreich]

the single best post-episode text i've ever received

[catboybiologist]

Imagine if a like 8 foot tall guy that looked kinda like an alien species just kinda showed up at the house you rent a room in and crashed on the couch and at first everyone hated him but you kinda just accepted this weird massive kinda-human alien species thing as a part of your group even though he's like twice the size of everyone else there

[catboybiologist]

Cuz that's literally happening to sea lions in San Francisco right now

[catboybiologist]

So there's two species of sea lion in North America: the California sea lion, ranging along California (including Baja) but not ranging into the north coast or into oregon

And the Stellar's sea lion, which are WAY bigger and live in Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska

A male Stellars sea lion showed up in SF like a month ago and just kinda. Didn't know what to do, and joined a colony of California sea lions, and is just kinda chilling there now.

[catboybiologist]

Weird vagrant species happen from time to time, but this is just a particularly funny instance of a highly social species getting very lost, and just trying to blend in with its closest nearby relatives

I simply dont have much interest in measuring which dr who writerman is the most misogynistic. The problem has a solution and it’s not saying Steven Moffat dr who was Woke Actually it’s putting a woman at the helm of this show.

[innocet]

We can argue till the cows come home about which of these middle aged men portrays women the Least Bad but ultimately we’ve had less than a dozen women in the writers room Total. Ever

[doctorwhoisadhd]

technically across classic and modern who we have had 16 total women in the writers room, however:

12 of them have written two or fewer episodes

all but one of them have written two or fewer stories, with the only exception being jane baker, who exclusively cowrote with her husband pip baker and was always billed second (as pip and jane baker)

only 11 of them have written an episode without a male cowriter (2 of those wrote one episode together)

of the 5 women who have exclusively written with a male cowriter, 2 were billed first and 3 were billed second.

literally all three non-white women (actually they were all Black i believe) to write for the series only wrote one episode that was co-written by the white male showrunner (only one of them was billed first)

only 37 out of 892 episodes of doctor who have been written with a woman billed as a writer at all. that's 4%.

Thinking about 13 Latvias again

[hjartasalt]

I genuinely belive this is the funniest fucking thing we will ever get from reddit

[hjartasalt]

I need you all to know that I think about 13 Latvias so much that now every time I meet someone from Latvia I have to resist the urge to ask "which one"

[hjartasalt]

In the Latviaverse this is just a normal map

[infiniteoreos]

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

[muffinlance]

Joke's on you Tumblr nothing can ever self-diagnose me as hard as hundreds of "wow, I love your autistic Zuko!" comments in a row

[mephistopheles]

what people flagrantly misunderstand about culturally iconic ‘logicians’ like spock and sherlock holmes is that they are fuckinggggg annoying. like you canNOT write for nor adapt either of these characters properly without understanding that they are admirable in many ways, yes, but they are repeatedly and gleefully, ON PURPOSE, fucking massive nuisances to literally every sane individual around them, all the time. they love bothering people, they LOVE it, it makes them SO HAPPY, and THAT, not their brilliance, is what makes them the best. spocks a BITCH
