For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

My Roommate Is a Vampire by Jenna Levine

«Sam and Scott would take me in. Getting them to believe my roommate was a vampire might be difficult, but— No. Getting them to believe my roommate was a vampire would be impossible. Sam was a lawyer, and Scott was an academic. They didn’t have enough imagination between them to change a light bulb. And I’d always been the eccentric friend. The one who could throw killer bachelor parties and collected existential crises like Pokémon, but who was perennially messing up in most important areas of her life. They’d probably think I was delusional if I told the truth.»

You aren't the Chosen One. The prophecy doesn't even get going for another few generations. But you aren't just going to let some upstart conqueror trample your tulip garden just because the Fates say you can't beat him.

the most important thing to know about the UK isnt the tea or the baked beans or whatever. its that mr brightside has been charting on the uk top 100 for 475 weeks, or about 9 years straight. sometimes it just randomly rises up to the top 40 for no reason. the grip that song has on our souls should be studied.

You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.

Does anyone else ever think about how Fiyeraba, at its core, asks and answers two of the most classical story questions about unconditional love? The handsome, charming prince wonders if his partner would still want to be with him if he didn't have the trappings of his status and title. The misunderstood, wrongfully vilified young woman wonders if her partner would stand by her, even at great personal cost and against the entire world. And for both of them, the answer is an immediate and resounding "YES, of course, what even is this question."

Because I do.

wsqk headcanons!

no spoilers! just thoughts about the station and the party!

→ after getting fired from family video for being no-shows (to be fair, neither of them realized that Keith would still schedule them after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake), Robin and Steve apply to WSQK. Vickie casually mentioned how she listened to the station every morning and how sad she was going to be with the current host leaving Hawkins. luckily, the interview process was a short and sweet exchanging of keys. → when Nancy, Robin, and Jonathan graduated in the spring of '86, they hosted a private graduation party at wsqk so the party could safely celebrate with them. → Robin and Steve agreed that the station would be a no romance zone. that was until robin brought Vickie for a "private tour". Steve, however, religiously holds up his end of the bargain because he knows the station is a safe space for Robin and Vickie to be themselves. → speaking of guests, both Steve and Robin both have bedrooms at the station because "it's easier to sleep over for late night broadcasts and crawls." but what they don't tell the party is that it's easier for Steve to live at the station than return to the house that his parents fled Hawkins before the quarantine started. Robin tries to evenly split her time between staying at home and the station because she hates for Steve to be alone. → Robin has made specialized DJ names for all the kids in the party and will use them instead of their real names when radioing because she thinks it's funny. → Steve brought the basketball hoop from the Harrington house to the station so that he could continue to coach and mentor Lucas. But Steve also uses it himself when the night gets late, and the memories and regrets gnaw at the back of his mind. → Jonathan built a small listening booth in the station for the party to seek solace in whenever days are especially hard. And everyone has full access to the station's catalog. Dustin will come in to have a private Metallica listening session. Murray likes to use it between supply runs. Erica borrowed it for a private listening party. Even Joyce has sought the quiet comfort of the listening booth, even if she doesn't understand how to start the tracks. → Lucas once convinced Robin to loop Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill to broadcast to Max one night. However, an hour in and numerous called-in complaints, they had to move on to a different track. So now, the party writes "call-in messages" to Mad Max for Robin to deliver through the radio when Lucas or someone else can't visit her at the hospital.

thanks for reading! feel free to shoot me blurbs or headcanon requests for stranger things since i've got fresh inspiration!
