been thinking again about the parallels between hinata and oikawa lately

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

Maybe if I just work harder, this empty cup will pour again

[shinyrock6498]

Maybe the cup needs a bit of time to rest and refill?

[asksloyxp]

Maybe the cup needs to lock the fuck in???

when you think about it, Chastity is a hilarious baby name

[hammerofthorn]

I suppose it’s aspirational in a sense. “Go, child; achieve what we could not.”

[thiingamajiig]

different, but the same

[cutecipher]

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

[cutecipher]

Astronauts are so funny man. Here's just a couple of things I've found hilarious from this past week of space stuff:

It's probably already been spread around here enough already, but in case anyone's missed it; 7 hours after launch, commander Reid Wiseman, dealing with tech issues, uttered the generational quote "I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working."

After fixing the issues that were afflicting the onboard toilet, mission specialist Christina Koch (who has quickly become my favourite of the four) laughingly said “I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.”

On Easter Sunday, the Artemis II crew hosted a makeshift egg hunt, by hiding packets of dehydrated scrambled eggs around their Orion capsule.

The way the crew always makes sure to make it very clear they're in space when doing interviews. From stuff like Wiseman just hanging out floating sideways on screen or Koch letting her hair loose so it can freely span out flowing around her.

While in transit, the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera.

When the crew reached the furthest point from Earth in the mission, they jokingly clambored over each other in an effort to get to the far side of the capsule, so that they could individually claim to be the furthest person from earth.

At the same time, on the ISS which was at the time on the other side of earth, the 7 astronauts onboard had a light-hearted race to the far side of the station, making jokes about being the furthest humans from Artemis.

On the way back to earth, NASA actually managed to establish an audio call between the crews of the ISS and Artemis II (where they shared the above info), and Koch called one member of the ISS crew, Jessica Meir, her "astro-sister" as the two of them previously spacewalker together in 2019. Meir then responded I'm so happy that we are back in space together, even if we are a few miles apart" (a few here being 230,000).

While Jeremy Hansen was doing an interview, Wiseman and Koch were just in the background swatting the mission mascot (a little moon plush toy named Rise) back and forth between each other.

THE BANQUET PICTURES

You know what I’m talking about, the pictures at the end of Episode 10.  So we know that all the pictures we see come from three phones.  

The first phone:

Has a picture of Makkachin as the wallpaper and 5 photos in the GPF/SOCHI folder and like over a thousand photos in a folder titles “Makkachin” it’s safe to say we know who’s phone this is.

The Second phone:

Has a picture of Christophe and Viktor on the podium with Chris as the focus and has 3 photos from the Banquet♡ it’s safe to assume that this is Christophe’s phone.

Now the third phone… 

The Third Phone:

The third phone has a photo of what as it’s background?  Let’s take a closer look here.  

Oh right, it’s a picture of piroshki on a plate sitting on a cheetah print table cloth.

Wait what!? You mean it’s not a katsudon like I thought it was for THREE FUCKING MONTHS.

It’s a picture of, let’s repeat this in bold, PIROSHKI ON A PLATE SITTING ON CHEETAH PRINKT TABLE CLOTH.

Okay, so you’re telling me the third phone, the phone that has a folder titled DANCE/GPF with 33 photos in it.

THIRTY THREE PHOTOS

Photos which include these gems:

came from the phone which has a picture of, let’s bold this again, PIROSHKI ON A PLATE ON TOP OF CHEETAH PRINT TABLECLOTH  which we can only assume belongs to Yuri Plisetsky.

YURI PLISETSKY.

Of the three people where were present at the Banquet and took pictures (and kept them for a whole year) the ONLY phone which had pictures of Yuuri and Christophe pole dancing practically naked, is Yuri Plisetsky.

So what you’re telling me is that Yuri not only took pictures of Yuuri in his boxers pole dancing (and dancing with Viktor ♡) but he KEPT them.

I think it’s safe to say that it’s canon that Yuri Plisetsky not only looked up to Yuuri as a skater, but also had the biggest fucking crush on the man.  

At least this is my takeaway from all this.

I’m shook.

our doubts are traitors by @astoryaboutwar

Mutual pining story between two superpowered assassins, with self-doubt being the bane of everyone’s existence.

[inotherlandsincorrectquotes]

Elliot: Am I going to far?

Luke: No, no, no. You went too far about 7 hours ago. Now you’re going to prison.

[rage-cupcakes]

all of my friends are tired of hearing about it but the sheer galaxy brain of @sarahreesbrennan giving us a protagonist who:

is fundamentally, incontrovertibly convinced he's, at his core, unlovable

goes out of his way to be abrasive and off-putting to people so he can feel like they left because he made them and not because nobody would ever choose to be around him, and thinks of his own personality as terrible

gets laid constantly by people with high social standing and has every member we see of two separate species vying for his affections

believes there is no situation so bad he can't fix it through talking

Just a truly magnificent set of contradictory character attributes that the character is fully blind to the contradiction of.

Reread this book last week. A couple Elliots to celebrate

[yellowraincoat]

Been thinking more about the miscommunication between the Luke and Elliot today.

Elliot tends to do and say hurtful things so often that they hold absolutely no weight. People often assume he’s kidding during the few times he’s actually genuinely trying to insult them.

And Luke understands that very often Elliot is kidding… he just always isn’t sure when. The answer is probably most of the time. But also sometimes Elliot is serious, and hurtful when Luke doesn’t expect it.

So when Luke is at his best, he can assume that Elliot is affectionately mean. But when Luke is feeling stressed or insecure, he flips on a dime and assumes that all of Elliot’s mean bullshit is dead serious. And that it’s always been dead serious. And he’s been putting so much love and effort into a boy who probably hates him.

Luke is generally very kind. He tries very hard not to have the meanest and most reactionary responses when Elliot is mean to him. But he does tend to let that build up to a point of resentment where eventually he lets it all explode. And then when he actually wants to hurt Elliot he goes in for kill shots and says the meanest possible thing he can think of. (Big fight #1: I only invited you this summer because I pity you. I never wanted you here. Big fight #2 your family doesn’t want you and I don’t want you either. You have no friends).

And both times Luke is LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH. He says the thing he thinks will hurt Elliot most and then assumes his words have had no lasting impact because he assumes Elliot knows they are so obviously not true.

Of course Luke wants Elliot there. He invited him. He’s going to continue inviting him. Why does Elliot not want to go all the sudden? Does he hate Luke?

Of course Luke is Elliot’s friend. Luke only has two fucking friends. How could Elliot take that statement at face value?

But Elliot quite literally does not have the self esteem necessary to believe Luke doesn’t mean it when he calls out Elliot’s insecurities.

the school play is so fucking random and i love it so much. like we’ve never heard of the arts program at the border camp before year 4, then it’s a major setpiece for the year. it’s a shameless ripoff of romeo + juliet . . . and then it isn’t: elliot really connects with his character, the themes about Pure vs Tainted love, the flipped gender dynamics that reveal real life complexities (e.g., myra and adara crushing on luke the main lead who is Pure in the play and untouchable irl because he’s gay). important people like the Sunborns show up to see it—people will break their norms for Luke. elliot takes his shirt off and no one is mad about it (except Luke).

like WHAT was going on and how do i get more authors to do things like this.
