"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.

[toastyglow]

the backrooms are simply not as scary conceptually if there is Something In Them

[toastyglow]

the whole reason why they're so unnerving is BECAUSE there's nothing in them!! because they're unrelentingly liminal and lonely and uncomforting. there shouldn't be a monster guy in there chasing you. you should glimpse other humans (?) from a distance but they walk away before you can close the gap and then they're gone. things should run away from YOU. do u get it

[toastyglow]

"and there was a MONSTERowooowwohhhh" the monster is isolation and banal beige sameness and uncanny valley architecture. you fool. you rube. you're putting a hat on a hat and the second hat is not only unnecessary but it ruins the first hat!!!!!!! "there's a monster in there" great so now it's just another place for a monster to be. ridiculous

We all love the "Thorin builds Bilbo a garden in Erebor" trope, but I ESPECIALLY love it when building a garden turns into a group project.

Not just between Thorin and the company but also between kingdoms.

When Thorin has to suck it up and put his pride aside to ask Dale for soil and Mirkwood for seeds! Thats the good shit.

Both because it shows that Thorin would do anything for Bilbo and because it shows just how many people Bilbos little acts of simple kindness have touched

[mo0nbugs]

To pass the time on long rides, Bilbo starts absent-mindedly braiding Myrtles mane. He does it almost subconsciously and is completely unaware of all the dwarf eyes keenly watching him.

Because they're good braids, some of them quite complicated and no one can understand just how he knows how to do that.

The only conclusion they could come to is that the hobbit must have a paramour back in The Shire, some long-haired lass who he spoils with pretty love-braids.

Thorins temper had been truly foul after Balin has proposed the theory out loud.

After weeks of Thorin sulking, it was ever curious: Ori, who finally asked where Bilbo had learned such intrecate braid work.

Bilbo then flushed and embaressedly explained that he'd learned it from competitive pie decorating.

everybody wanna be a anarchist nobody wants to change ‘diapers’ …everybody wanna be a anarchist nobody wants to go thru their pantry and donate things they know they dont need as much as a stranger etc etc like it’s not like ive never met actual anarchist who do good but 99% of the time they r not on social media and if they are they arent being weird about other leftist actually helping their communities like a lot of u see the label and imagine urself like standing on a flipped car thats on fire waving around a pistol while rock music plays but do u have the guts to wash a disabled person? could u care for another person if they were injured at a protest? do you even know how to do cpr…?

zendaya wearing real 3000-year old ancient iranian earrings with no known track of provenance to the odyssey premiere. nasty work. even worse than the kim kardashian marilyn dress to me. they could have promoted modern greek jewelry designers but chose to do this instead. very tacky at best. especially in this geopolitical climate

[cyberpunkpavlichenko]

I’m sorry, but the logic that a rapist “won’t stop” because you’ve warned other people about their behavior so it’s meaningless to warn other people is so stupid. I think potential victims actually have a right to know about predators in their community. Lack of accountability is not an argument against warnings, it’s actually an argument for them.

[lesboydefender]

seeing young trans men saying how they feel so “validated” by people telling them to kill themselves because “at least they see me as a man” is actually so fucking sad. 15 year old trans boy you do not deserve to be treated like a monster because of the words you use for yourself and the goals you have for your body. you do not need to accept this kind of treatment from your own community in order to prove that you’re not a threat. you are a person. you are a person

[allramnostorage]

i firmly believe that one of the reasons tumblr latched onto project hail mary so hard is because we're all so obsessed with the dead wife trope lately and grace is his own dead wife. half of the book/film is grace experiencing a dead wife montage about himself and that's beautiful to me

[jacqcrisis]

I think the reason a lot of charmes au ideas don't hit for me is because Charon is the ultimate background force. If you give him a job where he is front and center commanding attention, then it doesn't work for me personally cause that's not what's compelling about him in canon to me.

He's the bartender. He's the cashier. He's the taxi driver. He's the band manager. He's operating the carnie ride. He's not the bandit or sheriff but the guy selling shovels for the gold rush.

He's not the ringmaster or the performer, but the weirdo outside of the circus running the ticket booth and the lemonade stand. And he might have driven you there himself too. And he might actually own the circus. But you'll never find that out but it's implied. Also everyone's scared of him except the guy who owns the land the circus is on and also also he might be the reason you can buy drugs in the area despite the landowner.

You can have Hermes do basically whatever considering he's the god of a million things, but if Charon is, on the surface, not doing some menial job that puts him solidly in the background of society's day to day, then I just can't find myself vibing with it. It's missing his 'gods most interesting NPC' energy.

Can anyone stop being an anti black racist for a moment? I want a chance at enjoying things again

[vithcy]

I'm not even kidding it's so clear that everyone sees black people and especially black women as some sort of alternate species. I'm getting into doll collection & customization videos because I've been getting into collecting myself and toys and art are supposed to bring me happiness and even there I can't escape the anti blackness. Like... you're lucky if you find a character or doll that's consistently brown skinned and carefully designed in popular brands. Collectors will always favor light skin or fantasy colors anyways. I had to watch a white creator call a custom Garnet doll "dummy thicc" and describe her in progress proportions as "female rappery" why couldn't you just have said curvy? You're not funny or cool and I'm very tired

book!grace and movie!rocky had to be separated because their freak levels are so ungodly high that being in a spaceship together for four years would cause the universe to collapse upon itself. like, movie!grace and book!rocky are freaks within their own rights but unfortunately it’s pretty hard to top (ha) a nerd who’s suspiciously into medplay and a nudist that eats in front of people

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.
