[tweet by Laureen Bazzi @laureenbazzi: idk how to explain this but thursday, october, and 8:00pm are all the same end ID]
80% of the work week, 83.3333% of the day at 8pm, 83.333% of the year in October.
It’s so charming to see this on my dash because Thursday, October, and the number 8 are all the same rusty brown-orange color according to my synesthesia.
happy Thursday October 8th
You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?
It’s because he’s one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge….and he gets it! and then he isn’t empty or despairing! he doesn’t regret it! he’s totally satisfied!
because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters “seeing the futility of their actions” or learning “their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated” FUCK THAT.
Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it’s fantastic. it’s iconic.
let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they’ve done
Another thing that set Inigo Montoya apart from other characters with vengeance arcs is that Inigo’s vengeance drove him but it didn’t consume him. He was wronged and wanted - needed that injustice to be corrected - but his vengeance was focused. Rather than taking his pain out on the whole world, Inigo was a charming, pleasant, good-humored person that treated everyone respectfully, even folks he was fighting. He even asks politely to people he meets about any extra digits they may have.
Would a bitter, angry, vengeance-consumed man swear on the life of his father and help a guy he was planning to duel, then give him time to catch his breath? Would he hand his sword over to his future opponent to lovingly show off his late-father’s skill as a swordmaker?
“You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.”
I think part of what makes Inigo so iconic and beloved is because while vengeance was his story, it wasn’t who he was, so when he achieved his vengeance it was less an emptiness and more of a satisfaction, a story completed, a wrong made right, and a man suddenly baffled at the possibilities before him, not sure what his next story would be.
I think that people who balk at the phrase "all cops are bastards" might be helped out with "good cops don't last."
Sooner or later, every cop will encounter a situation where they can be complicit or try to do something about it. A good cop will try to do something about it. They will encounter immediate resistance, and will be pressured to shut up and be complicit (whereupon they cease to be a good cop). If they persist, they can expect to be fired, harassed, thrown in a mental hospital, or even directly physically attacked and murdered.
Hell, if they're in the NYPD, after they're done with you they'll probably make a commemorative challenge coin about it.
All cops are bastards because good cops don't last. You are absolutely not allowed to be a good cop.
horror movie where the protagonist only has an inhale activated vape as a light source
As a revivalist wannabe-recon polytheist I think some things need to be recognized:
Not everyone has access to the newest most well researched data, and may rely on old sources because they are available
Not everyone has access to university or academic material in general
Not everyone has the skills or experience to read academically dense text even if they do have access
I hate anti-intellectualism, I hate misinformation, and I love learning the history of the practices I base my religion on. But, having access to, and the ability to understand, the best sources is a luxury. My blog's easiest days to make posts with information was 2017- mid 2019. Why? I was a university student with major database access and in 2017 specifically I had a library I could walk to in like 5 minutes. I don't have either now so posts with a research component take longer to make.
In other words, don't act like every polytheist or pagan has the same access to information and knowledge as you do. Or that they're being "lazy" in their practice by not researching.
Like, have you seen how fracking expensive history books are.
I'm fortunate to be in a place where I can afford to expand the collection on my bookshelf. Many people aren't in the same position as I am, and there aren't always free PDFs available.
Often times, knowledge is privilege.
my hearing has been aided and holy shit is this how you guys hear all the time
I can hear the birds calling to eachother!! im sat inside my house and I can still hear them!!
my cats purrs are so loud...I never knew how happy he was when I petted him 😭😭
bees have such nice buzzes!!!!!
rustling leaves sound nice. motorbikes do not
I can hear the river running through my village...this world has so many beautiful and amazing sounds
if you rub your hands on a leather sofa. that sounds excellent
gravel sounds fantastic btw. go kick some gravel immediately
CRUNCHY LEAVES
I still can't get over jinx purring. I never knew how happy he was or how much he loves me. he's been purring since I got home, every time I say hi to him. my husband says he's always purring like that, I just never heard it before
thank you @dwiwediblino for suggesting a clicky keyboard. I just tried it out and what a FANTASTIC sound
Have you heard the pitter patter sound of your cats toes yet? Always enjoy that sound
yes!! when we came home and I called him downstairs for some food I heard him leap off the bed I think and his excited patters down the stairs
food in frying pans really do be sizzling...
the sound of old crinkly book pages oh my GOD I have found my new favourite sound
went down to the village river and it was so nice!! the river is pretty low rn because of the lack of rain but when it rains lots I want to go back and see it go fast and hear it
also! hearing the rustle of grass as I walk through it!
and and and i threw a stone into the water and it made a very satisfying splash sound :)
I am currently working construction at a new Amazon fulfillment center (650,000 sq ft). This is the fourth of fifth floor. That is fog in the background.
that is the souls of warehouse workers departed

There are you happy
i hate this stupid fucking video my girlfriend keeps playing it when we’re sharing comfortable moments of silence and it’s ruined by this stupid fucking orange slut getting water boarded by toothpaste
everyone who looks at me in public is disgusted by me but also hopelessly in love with me. you wouldn't get it
Is it too late to become Tumblr famous?
people who watch musicals and bitch about how it doesn’t make sense that the characters randomly burst into song are so funny to me. babe it’s literally a musical like this is the standard of the genre what did you expect
THAT'S THE WHOLE PROBLEM WITH THE GENRE AS A WHOLE, THAT'S THE POINT
i’m sorry you’re allergic to fun i’m sure that makes life very difficult for you
Me watching a murder mystery: What the hell...why are so many different characters suspicious, in reality cases aren't normally this complicated, this whole genre is a mess...
Me watching a comedy: What the hell...so many silly and unlikely situations keep happening...
Me watching an action movie: What the helll...why is it so violent...
Me watching a fantasy film: What the hell....elves aren't real....
fiona if the mcu was in charge of her character design
I get the feeling some of the critics out there have never seen a fucking She-Hulk comic before. When Jennifer Walters transforms, she generally just becomes a taller, more muscular, green version of herself.
And how about some official Before and After panels?
so the comics sucks as well
good to know!
the mcu
I am disturbed by how much I love this…
tag yourself I'm an indifferent girl
Nothing! it's actually pretty much impossible to get an STI from a toilet seat, except in very specific conditions. but if you got an STI as in unmarried woman (or worse: a married one) you might. uh. lie about where you may have got it. and if there wasn't real science and there were hundreds of people saying they got a venereal disease without having sex, you eventually have to make up some place all that syphilis is coming from!
Fair enough. I was just being fascecious, but thank you! The more you know.
