So I Know When To Duck

ialwayslikedthetie on ao3, soiknowwhentoduck on ff. net / rp accounts: loudhaoleinatie (Danny 'Danno' Williams), tiny-fierce-haole (Danni 'Danno Williams -female), knife-for-hire (evil!Danny Williams) / Primarily Scott Caan / Danny 'Danno' Williams / H50 blog, and I will ship anything involving the loudmouth Jersey native (McDanno, Surf n Turf (Danny x Kono), Chilliams...) Some other fandoms, plus random humour :) Feminist, pansexual, social anxiety enthusiast, only slightly obsessive (hint: the last one is a lie)

[merlin-wolfgang-trades-hale]

reeeeeeally random but like I see Deckerstar as a hetero version of McDanno 

Chloe is played by Lori’s actress but  I mean…blond detective with blue eyes who’s divorced with one daughter she calls Monkey. Butts heads and is partnered up against her will by a handsome, bad ass dark haired man who planted himself in her life because he chose her to be his partner and fight crime together. 

Lucifer was just more free to be as openly horny for Chloe than Steve could ever be for Danny. 

Anyway @soiknowwhentoduck I think I found the root of that foursome of ours. 

[soiknowwhentoduck]

I couldn't agree more! ❤️

And also the blond/blonde not being susceptible to the dark-haired man's powers, much to their chagrin! Luci's "what is it you desire?" having no effect on Chloe, and Steve's brash SEAL ways of doing things not impressing Danny... It leaves the brunet confused and flustered that their little Detective isn't falling for their charms instantly, and makes him want them more!

There are definitely many parallels between these two pairs! No wonder we made them a foursome lmao!

I can totally see Chloe and Danny sitting together and complaining about their idiots, knowing that their Detective friend is one of the few people on the planet who will understand! Meanwhile Steve and Luci are having drinks at the bar and mooning over why their partner is smol, fiery and adorable, and yet refuses to go along with their poorly-thought-out hair-brained schemes 🤣

Edit: Okay, apparently some people didn’t get what I thought the connection was between these two quotes, so here’s the point I was trying to make: 

If you are going to try and talk someone out of having an abortion, you should be prepared to (1) let them live with you if they’ve been kicked out of their home for getting pregnant, (2) provide them with employment if this pregnancy has cost them their job, (3) pay for their relationship counselling/family counselling/divorce lawyer if the pregnancy is negatively affecting their existing relationships, (4) pay for all pre-natal and post-birth medical care if your country doesn’t have universal healthcare, and (5) adopt and raise the resulting child if they don’t feel they’re in a position to take care of a baby. 

Otherwise, butt out of their life and medical procedures.

Reblogging again because I just saw this version in the notes, and it’s worth sharing.

You wanna make a decision for someone else, then you better be willing to accept ALL the consequences of that decision, because you just made it YOUR decision… they’re your consequences now.

[disgruntledinametallicatshirt]

you know what actually pisses me off? when I finally start to feel a smidge of confidence in my writing ability and then some JERK POSTS A SINGLE LINE FROM A TERRY PRATCHETT NOVEL AND IT’S BETTER THAN ANYTHING I WILL EVER WRITE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILLENNIA I SPEND TRYING!

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

Terry was a professional writer from the age of 17. He worked as a journalist which meant that he had to learn to research, write and edit his own work very quickly or else he’d lose his job.

He was 23 when his first novel was published. After six years of writing professionally every single day. The Carpet People was a lovely novel, from a lovely writer, but almost all of Terry’s iconic truth bomb lines come from Discworld.

The Colour of Magic, the first ever Discworld novel was published in 1983. Terry was 35 years old. He had been writing professionally for 18 years. His career was old enough to vote, get married and drink. We now know that at 35 he was, tragically, over half way through his life. And do you know what us devoted, adoring Discworld fans say about The Colour of Magic? “Don’t start with Colour of Magic.”

It is the only reading order rule we ever give people. Because it’s not that great. Don’t get me wrong, very good book, although I’ll be honest I’ve never been able to finish it, but it’s nowhere near his later stuff. Compare it to Guards Guards, The Fifth Elephant, the utterly iconic Nightwatch and it pales in comparison because even after nearly 20 years of writing, half a lifetime of loving books and storytelling Terry was still learning.

He was a man with a wonderful natural talent, yes. But more importantly he worked and worked and worked to be a better writer. He was writing up until days before he died.  He spent 49 years learning and growing as a writer, taking so much joy in storytelling that not even Alzheimer’s could steal it from him. He wouldn’t want that joy stolen from you too.

Terry was a wonderful, kind, compassionate, genius of a writer. And all of this was in spite of many many people telling him he wasn’t good enough. At the age of five his headmaster told him that he would never amount to anything. He died a knight of the realm and one of the most beloved writers ever to have lived in a country with a vast and rich literary tradition. He wouldn’t let anyone tell him that he wasn’t good enough. And he wouldn’t want you to think you aren’t good enough. He especially wouldn’t want to be the reason why you think you aren’t good enough. 

You’re not Terry Pratchett. 

You are you.

And Terry would love that. 

[rsfcommonplace]

I only ever had a chance to talk to Terry Pratchett once, and that was in an autograph line.  I’d bought a copy of The Carpet People, which was his very first book, and he looked at it with a faint air of concern.  “You realise that I wrote that when I was very young,” he said, in warning.

“Yes,” I said.  “But I like seeing how authors grow.”

He brightened and reached for his pen.  “That’s all right then,” he said, and signed.

MY TA SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FOOT AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SO FUCKING QUICK LMAOOO

[narwhalsarefalling]

some context 

1. my TA, Ralph, shot his girlfriend’s abusive ex in the foot

2. abusive ex was also a sex offender

3. he shot him when ex came buy to pick some stuff up from girlfriend and tried to take some of Ralph’s items as well

4. ex is stable and alive in a hospital

5. i didn’t do assignment 8 so i am very happy

[narwhalsarefalling]

some more Facts About Ralph

he is whiter then snow. this man is pure 100% american redneck in everything but the politics. this is intimidating if you dont know him because he owns like 3 different guns but also has animated discussions about “how his sister should be able to get married” when you bring up lgbt rights. his sister isnt even gay or trans or anything, he just thinks that LGBT rights also means that the lady should propose when she wants to. hes a little confused but he got the spirit. upon finding out that i am queer he said, word for word “THATS FUCKING RADICAL HOMIE” 

in the first week of school he snorted a line of pepper in the cafeteria and threw up.

the only other crime hes committed before was accidently dropping a weight from his balcony and cracking the sidewalk. which is technically destruction of public property but the judge basically laughed at him and have him 10 hours of community service

this man once walked me home when i stayed late at the lab and talked to me animatedly about breeding brine shrimp for different lab purposes. absolutely captivated by this discussion. i trust him with my life

[larmalot]

oh mg god this post somehow got better

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

once again i am reminding you that just because you personally haven’t experienced a certain problem, does not mean it isn’t a legitimate issue that other people struggle with.

[sous-le-saule]

Tumblr really believes people will pay for content when they think hitting the reblog button is already too much. I'm laughing.

[merlin-wolfgang-trades-hale]

I now need a fic where Danny pulls the third amendment on Steve when he’s mad at him omfg xD 

—-

“I’m not going anywhere, Daniel!”

“The hell you’re not, I know my rights!” 

“Rights?” Steve exclaimed, “What rights?”

“The bill of rights. Third amendment, buddy!” 

“You can’t be serious!” 

“Oh, but I am! Third amendment states ‘No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.’.That means…this is moving too fast. We gotta work out…stuff! Draw lines of where work and domesticity meet! So…third amendment rights are being called, go home, you can’t stay here…not yet. I’m…it’s a big thing moving in together.”

—-

I didn’t want it to be over something too silly but I also didn’t want it to be very much a too serious of a fight. Danny being nervous about moving in together, of selling his house to move in completely with Steve? It’d be a huge deal and he’d panic and he’d go back to his place and if Danny’s not staying over at the McGarrett house then Steve’s going over to Danny’s and Danny panics and recalls the 3rd amendment. 

Would anyone liked this fleshed out?

Just a random question: would anyone be interested in listening to a podcast about the host interviewing fanfic writers (in a respectful and fun way)?

I've been contemplating doing something like that to help writers promote their work, talk about trends and fanfic history, and help dispell common fanfic myths... stuff like that.

If you think you'd be interested in either listening to or guest starring on a podcast like that, comment, like or reblog. If this gets 1000 notes, I'll start laying the groundwork for production.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

[sexceptionul]

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

[thedanliest]

FUCK YOU DISNEY

Anyways, y’all better start saving your fave fanfics and fanart under the Disney labels cause it looks like they’re trying to curb fair use/fanworks and I’m sure there’s going to be mass panicked deletions even though it’s probably unnecessary cause AO3′s legal team will fight for us.

[dancinbutterfly]

You know that 400K yall were so fucking mad about OTW raising? Yeah, its gonna pay for the travel expenses and court costs that the legal team at AO3/OTW when they protect your shit from getting C&Ded. DO NOT DELETE YOUR STUFF! IF YOU GET CONTACTED BY DISNEY - GO TO THE ORGANIZATION OF TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS , CONTACT THEIR LEGAL ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT! ASK FOR HELP!! THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE IS *WHY* *THEY* *EXIST*

[elfwreck]

Note that Disney would have one Hell of a time serving C&Ds to authors at AO3 - because there is no “contact author” option other than leaving a comment.

They’d have to contact the SITE, which is to say, the Organization for Transformative Works, to deliver a C&D order or a DMCA takedown order.

And the OTW is not going to remove fics because someone sent a letter that says “actually those characters belong to me and you can’t use them that way.” The OTW was created to FIGHT that kind of claim. They are ready. 

Don’t delete your fics out of fear. WE OWN THE SERVERS. They can’t threaten the hosts into deleting anything.

And if Disney thought they had a strong legal case against fanfic, they’d’ve shut down the archive a decade ago, when it was penniless and unknown, instead of waiting until it had won several battles in Congress and got worldwide acclaim for a Hugo Award.

[living-force]

This is important!

For @soiknowwhentoduck​ ❤️

Premise: Series finale, but McDanno’s been married for a bit, which is the family part Andy’s talking about. Danny is his brother-in-law. It’s usually frowned upon for doctors to operate on themselves or loved ones. 

There’s a lot of meta about the twins that @soiknowwhentoduck​ knows about. I’m thinking of turning it into a fic, idk. I love the twins AU we’ve sorta been building.  But for now, I’m learning to make gifs and yeah.Crappy af I know. I’m learning how to size them properly, so sorry it’s small…

Steve: “I wish it were you there with him.”

Andy: “You know if I could I would. But doctor’s can’t operate on family…I get that it’s hard right now, but Danny needs you to be strong.”

[soiknowwhentoduck]

GKGKHNDHSSJDHDNDN!! LOVE IT!!

Oh god, the Twinverse in all its forms is so amazing, but Andy looking after Steve and propping him up emotionally while Steve worries about his Danno? Gimmeeeeeee ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[aniseandspearmint]

I feel like I need to say this, as I've seen some concerning fandom purity bullshit crossing my dash.

This blog is unapologetically pro AO3.

I support them and all they do, may they continue to do it for decades to come.

If you live in Alabama and you have a trans child age 19 or younger and they're receiving hormone therapy, get THE FUCK out now.

The state of Alabama has just made it a felony to give trans children ages 19 or younger hormone therapy or affirmation surgery.

Trans Lives Matter and stay safe.

Alabama Senate votes to make hormone therapy and surgery for trans youth a felony

Health care professionals who attempt to provide gender-affirming care could face up to 10 years in prison.

-fae

[sen-thebootbimbo]

IMPORTANT ADDITION: The Alabama House bill that will accompany this bill forces teachers and medical professionals to out trans youth to their parents.

THIS WILL KILL TRANS KIDS.

This combination of legislation is The most violent anti-trans legislation to date in the US. If you can do so safely, get out. Get out now. Get your children out. Please.
