the thing that drives me crazy about fibromyalgia is trying to explain it to people. yes i am in pain all the time. no i didn't do anything to get hurt. no it will almost definitely never go away entirely. no i don't know what caused it.

"so you're just going to be on pills your whole life" if the pills keep working, yeah, probably! i don't like being in pain!

[thebibliosphere]

I'm not saying I'd do it all the time; I'm just saying if someone sends me unsolicited medical advice, I should be allowed to hunt them for sport. As a little treat.

[beezelbubbles]

Well I mean... So often the unsolicited advice is to exercise more. What's better cardio than chasing them down? They should be happy to help

Okay I need to have a quick word with the fandom here, guys.

So, ‘dear boy’ does not mean what some of you think it means. Not from a guy who’s LARPing as an older English dude, anyway. It’s kind of just a phrase men use for each other, not exclusive to loved ones or even people you actually know. It’s also not necessarily a nice saying - quite often it’s a veiled way of saying ‘you absolute pillock’. Picture it being said in the most passive-aggressive tone humanly possible for the full effect.

Point is, Aziraphale probably says it a lot. There’s no point getting hung up on who he says it to, because the way he’s using it is not actually an endearment. Not like the way he says Crowley’s name, which I could probably write an essay about.

[krakensdottir]

NOW we’re all on the same page.

Select additional commentary: 

@geeoharee reply: oh yeah it’s fun as a neutral phrase, but it’s FUN when it means ‘you are an ant who I am currently deigning not to crush’

‘Dear boy’ is far more of a statement about who Aziraphale is than who he’s addressing. It’s part of his vibe, it goes with the waistcoat and the manicure.

@perfectlyineffable​ tags:  #yes. there’s a difference between ‘dear boy’ and 'my dear’. one is patronising to neutral. one is neutral to an endearment.  #'dearest’ is straight up an endearment though. love seeing that in fics […] #in my head 'dear boy’ is closely related to 'old sport’. they’re not *quite* the same but the vibes are similar

[neil-gaiman]

There’s a “my dear fellow” from Aziraphale to Crowley in Ep3 S1 and nobody ever comments on it.

My favourite thing about that show is how he treats servers. It was also the source of some very intense fantasies when I was a barista of him busting into my cafe, calling my boss a fucking idiot, then taking me against the broken dishwasher.

Whenever I see anything like this my first thought is that @thebibliosphere will know what these words mean.

[thebibliosphere]

Unfortunately, you would be correct.

“Vampire facials”, which many people think is needling but is actually far, far worse, refers to platelet-rich plasma facials, in which blood is taken from a patient, processed in a centrifuge to extract the plasma and then re-injected it into the face. It’s supposed to make the skin “heal” itself because of platelets or some shit, giving you a more youthful look. Kim K helped make it popular after it was on her show but I know she also supposedly regrets it.

It’s uh, controversial to say the least. And not just because it sounds like painful bullshit but because lack of regulation for this sort of thing has lead to a couple of cases of HIV transmission happening.

The penis version is that they’re doing the exact same thing, taking plasma from themselves or a donor and injecting it into the penile tissue, supposedly to treat erectile dysfunction, but a lot of the men doing this are doing it just to get a girthier look.

And if you think I hate knowing all this, you’d be right.

I’m going to Constantinople, that shit better not be Istanbul

[the-quasar-hero]

Real shit

[prismatic-bell]

You know I know I reblogged this already with a joke but—

Re the tags “transphobic parents visiting their out adult children,” it’s even MORE appropriate because we do actually know why Istanbul is no longer Constantinople. It’s because the name came from Constantine, a Roman emperor who converted to Christianity in the third century and immediately decided it was the state religion for the entire Holy Roman Empire—hence the name of that.

Thing is, he was a complete warmonger and also Türkiye hasn’t had a Christian majority in over five hundred years. The predominant religion in Türkiye is Islam—90% of voting-age people in Türkiye are Sunni Muslim—and in the third century when Constantine pulled his shit, most of the people there were pagans. Instanbul was renamed to remove the name of a force that was oppressive and no longer appropriate.

This young man you thought was your daughter Has a new name (Sam; he’s named for your father) So before you say ‘now where is my daughter?’ He’s the kid you recall, barely changed at all.

Trust me ma’am, you won’t want to bother Saying ‘you’re no son,’ if so, you’re no mother He’s afraid today, cause you’re coming over, And he’s telling you what he’s done

Now, you wouldn’t call Aunt Peggy ‘Margeret’ We all know she hates that name. Promise you, Sammy feels the same

So run that back: you don’t have a daughter, Got a son named Sam, and you are his mother If you can’t take that, then don’t even bother

And I’m sorry to say it but it’s true, He’ll be who is without you.
