supriya stating in an interview that samira says the “maybe i just don’t belong here” line in the hope that he will correct her. to tell her that she does, that she’s important to the ed. but he just stares and doesn’t comment. how fucking painful it must be to see him refuse to comment on a sentence that is a clear red flag and a cry for help. from a person who has been her mentor for four years. knowing he doesn’t care about her view of herself as a doctor. no reassurance from the one person she needs it from

To anyone considering an IUD, my advice would be:

I've only watched one episode of heartstopper and the rugby montage is so accurate

I've been playing sports my whole life, the pandemic was the first time I stopped

sometimes people on your team suck, they won't even look at your face outside training

but during traing you're a team, you play together and you need to give support to one another. they can HATE Charlie if they want to, some of them bullied him too, but they're including him and helping him and cheering for his small victories bc they're a team. inside the field/classroom/stage/whatever, it's another world, you're not the same person, and your dynamics change too

it's such a small scene but a really good scene

I know it's cliche but team sports do teach this kind of stuff to people, and growing up being able to play and compete is a privilege of which i am grateful and proud to have

edit:

idk if you noticed how nick was different during the rugby game? he was with Charlie, giving support, but he wasn't acting as his best friend even less his boyfriend. This is what I mean by you're a different person when the thing is happening: in there Nick was the captain of the team, Charlie was the player. Inside the field is a different world. It changes when Charlie gets hurt bc it turns in another situation now. Falling during the game? Whatever happens all the time. Getting hurt? No. That's serious.

So so so sooo accurate.

Hi! I’ve been listening to the song ‘Break Free’ by Eurielle maybe a little too much and every time it reminds me of Andromaquynh. It just fits their story so well. What do you think?

Hi! Sorry for taking a while to answer! I didn't know this song, but I checked it out now and Omg the lyrics are so very very Andromaquynh

The first stanza alone:

When you came into my life

It was like a dream

Suddenly everything felt right

And I knew you completed me

You took me into your arms

And you promised me

Nothing would keep us apart

Not even the wildest sea

What is that if not the Andromaquynh first meeting and getting together??? The 'like a dream' is pretty self explanatory, then 'suddenly everything felt alright, I knew you completed me, you took me into your arms'- Andromache finding Quynh in the desert, A++!

Of course, then Quynh gets thrown into the sea...

But a storm rose

Black with envy

And she stole you away from me

So my heart froze

Now it's empty

The sea stole Quynh away, and it destroys Andromache, she can't smile anymore, can't love her life anymore...

Can you find a way to break free

Will I ever see you again

Oh where have you gone

This can't be how our story ends

Our love is much too strong

And they still love each other after so long, even when they can't find a way back to each other...

Day and night

I will fight

To release you from her chains

That's Andy trying to find her, never giving up!!!

Thank you so much for this ask, this was lovely, if also heartbreaking! I'll add a link to the song in a reblog if anyone wants to listen!

OUAT timeline speculation

so, Adam said on twitter that  “Timeline is meticulously maintained and followed and consistent,” me, however, I’ve wasted dozens of pages of paper trying to follow the timeline for this season, meaning: the timeline in Storybrooke, the timeline in Enchanted Forest 2.0 and the timeline in Hyperion Heights (present??) and how they all are connected. Guess what? It’s a fucking mess. I know time moves differently in every realm, but that means that by the time Robin travels to EF 2.0 it’s been 10-11 years in Storybrooke since Emma said she was pregnant (this is following my theory that Emma and Killian tried to conceive for a couple of years ever since Henry left Storybrooke), so 10 years for the people of Storybrooke without seeing Henry.  If the phone call young Henry receives in 7x20 is actually from adult Henry, that would mean that this season’s curse not only brought them to the Land Without Magic but it was a travel back in time, right?

Adam said once that Hyperion Heights is set in present time (2017-2018) so time traveling would make sense, however I’m still trying to figure out when in time are set the events of the series finale;  if we’re gonna see Neal of about 9-10 years old, those events would take place in 2021.

I put the season 6 finale set in 2014 because I remember Henry saying he was 13 during season 5 and I think Fiona didn’t know Henry’s actually age and that’s why she told Emma in s6 finale he was 14 years old, so she could be wrong.

I’m thinking Henry graduates from high school when he’s 17 years old and then leaves Storybrooke, that’s when time starts being tricky in other realms, maybe it moves faster or slowest than in Storybrooke. When Henry reach the realm where he meets Cinderella and other stuff happened, I believe times moves really slow because when Robin goes there, it’s been what? a couple of years since Regina stayed with Henry? I mean, Lucy was already born and when Lucy turns 8, Robin says she’s 25 now... 

Anyway, some rambling thoughts I had today and I might be wrong about this whole thing, a couple weeks and hopefully we’ll get an explanation about it, or at least that’s what Adam said

Growing up in India, I never questioned my gender. When I moved to the U.S. at 18, I began to feel disconnected from my body.

A piece by Supriya Ganesh on being Indian in the entertainment industry, how that affects their gender identity, sexuality, and femininity.

These are just outtakes of a very important piece. I urge you to read the whole thing.

Here is the link for the original, here is a non paywalled version

i actually think it was really hot for trinity santos to walk in on her first day with that amount of confidence, make nicknames for every loser in there, try and get to do as many cool procedures as she could, catching some asshole stealing drugs, flirt with a 30+ year old surgery resident and still bag her after stabbing her in the foot, and just in general walking around and taking up her rightful space. i think women should do that more
