i do not at all mean this in a perjorative manner, but i do think it’s important to be able to consume a piece of media and go, “i’m not the audience for this” and be able to just walk away 

there doesn’t have to be something wrong or “problematic” about something for a person to not like it. personal taste is personal taste. but something not doing it for you doesn’t mean it automatically has to be wrong or bad. it’s just not for you.

There’s been several times when I’ve watched a thing and been like, they clearly did what they intended to do, and did it well, and I don’t want any part of it. This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art.

[queenclaudiabrown]

“This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art” is a wonderful line, I love it, I feel it in my soul

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

too good a take to be left in the tags

[deaddolin]

i think the whole "coworkers arent you friends" thing fucking sucks man. aside from the fact that enjoying the people you spend a major portion of your life around like actually improves your attitude, it is so dangerous for companies for their workers to be like. engaging with each other personally. you know like. unifying. unionizing. im not saying force your relationships at work but like. maybe engage a little more

Have you ever seen someone who hit you so hard right in the gay feels that you lost your sense of hearing for a few moments?

[strongorcbutch-deactivated20220]

To all the poor gay messes desperately asking who she is, her name is Katy M. O'Brian and the pictures in the OP are from the series Z Nation. Here’s some other pictures.

You’re all welcome.

thinking bout that party in hupperdook

[dwueth-var]

Best things about the CR cast:

- When Liam feels any emotion and CHUCKS his glasses across the table

- When one of Sam’s ads actually breaks Taliesin and he just collapses at the table

- When they manage to surprise Matt so bad he goes “Shit, okay”

- Ashley’s “okay okay okay” as she tries to calm herself down and decide what to do

- When Travis figures out a reveal before everyone else and starts pointing wildly

- The fact that Marisha and Matt go get Taco Bell together after stressful episodes

- When BWF and Tal start reminiscing about incredibly specific and NSFW experiences they’ve had in LA.

- When they get an important piece of paper and Laura scrambles to find her glasses

- “I can’t do (totally plausible thing), can I?” -Sam

- When Liam refuses to say an NPC’s name right and Travis is forced to beg Matt for their lives

- When Marisha got the morning after letter from Keg, and launched herself into another dimsension.

- When Laura and Sam start drawing dirty pictures and giggle like school children

- When Matt brings out a map and they all give the most excited and encouraging comments to him about how cool it looks

- Ashley’s little :-0 face whenever a plot point she missed comes up in a game and she thinks it’s cool

- When Taliesin refuses to not be hopelessly bisexual, supremely goth, and horny on main

- When Marisha tries to do some weird monk shit and gives Matt a goofy smile, like she’s trying to charm the dice into cooperation

- When Sam drunk-cried on AWNP because he loves his family and friends so much

- Whenever Matt checks in with everyone to make sure they’re still having fun with such earnestness in his voice

- When Tal and Travis are on talks together and look like a weird high school couple with an awkward size difference

PLEASE add more.

[luckthebard]

- When Liam paused the game to very earnestly tell Matt how good he is at DM-ing, and Matt got all flustered

- When Dani yells at Brian for joking about character deaths (Brian FOSTER!)

- Laura’s victory dance when she rolls a Nat 20

- Liam’s chant of “Not my babies…not my babies” while watching Marisha and Sam spin fire on AWNP

- When Marisha compliments Matt on character voices/rp (”That’s a great octopus, babe!”)

he only uses expelliarmus and he cannot duel

[quillsand]

Imagine the conversation ministry officials must be having when they see his auror application:

“He’s Harry Potter!”

“I know but that doesn’t change the fact-”

“Harry! Freaking! Potter!”

“We still need him to attend extra duelling lessons-”

“We can’t put Harry Potter in extra duelling lessons!”

“He only ever uses one spell-”

“Yeah, but he’s really good at it.”

Harry Potter, the boy who dared to ask, “why study all these other spells if I can get really good at yeeting everyone’s wands out of their hands”

[spookydaze]

When people can accept dragons, giants and fucking ice zombies in a show but black people is too far for their imagination to stretch 😂😂😂

The show has DRAGONS for fucks sake it shouldnt be hard to throw in more POC

The primary reason people think there weren’t people of color in those areas in those times is because MEDIA NEVER PORTRAYS THEM AS BEING THERE.

shoutout to me for never having a homestuck phase

[beggars-opera]

#shout out to me still not knowing what homestuck actually is

[dollsome-does-tumblr]

i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, “one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”

because, like, that’s the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isn’t it?

a dude being willing to say, “i understand if you don’t feel the same way about me, and i’ll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.”

so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency

[adulthoodisokay]

and dudes to this day wonder why women still swoon over darcy

[thathealeygirl]

Note also: Elizabeth turns down Darcy’s first proposal, and in the process, accuses him of doing some stuff he did not do (and also some stuff he totally did).

The next day, he surprises her on her walk. He hands her a letter, asks that she read it, and then takes off.

When this happened to me after I had turned someone down IN REAL LIFE, the letter contained a passionate argument to the tune of “actually you’re wrong and you do like me and you should go out with me” and it was creepy af.

Darcy’s letter to Elizabeth starts with: “Be not alarmed, Madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to you”. He goes on to set the record straight about the stuff he didn’t do (as well as the stuff he did) which is *actually relevant* to Elizabeth. And he, as promised, doesn’t romance her further.

It’s totally bizarre that even now, this can be considered unusually great dude behaviour.

[pluckyredhead]

Darcy’s first proposal: “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

Darcy’s second proposal: “One word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”

His whole arc in the book is about learning to consider other people’s feelings and not just his own, but the fact that it’s expressed via who gets to talk and who is told to shut up is so, so telling. The first time around, he imposes his voice on her whether she wants it or not. The second time, he asks how she feels, and in exchange, offers her the gift of his silence.

And yeah, the fact that dudes still! have! not! learned! this! lesson! is exhausting.

[elidyce]

I have never seen the Keira Knightley version of P&P because they cut a crucial line out of Elizabeth’s initial rejection. In the book, she smacks him down because of ‘your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain for the feelings of others’. The movie cut the selfish disdain, which is absolutely the most important part of the line. Arrogance and conceit? He already knew about those! He’d already had a conversation with her about pride, specifically his pride, and he was ready to go down with that ship.

But the selfish disdain? That was new information. That was the ‘oh shit’ moment that prompted the long letter, most of which boiled down to ‘look, I genuinely didn’t think it would hurt your sister’s feelings much and I am legit sorry about that but I love my friend and he doesn’t deserve your mother, okay, nobody deserves your mother especially not you and Jane who seem very nice and also here is the long and embarrassing story about why George Wickham’s feelings are not worth my concern or yours ever ever ever’. He may be a socially awkward idiot but he does care about people’s feelings and he wants her to know immediately that he is not the asshole she thinks he is in that regard.

And then they meet again and he practically turns himself inside out to prove that he listened and paid attention and he is being super considerate of the feelings of others at all times bc she was right and he was wrong and he is trying hard to be better about this. So he rescues Lydia not only for Elizabeth, but because he feels bad that he didn’t consider the further damage this asshole could do to other girls, he rescues Bingley and Jane’s romance because he wants to repair the hurt he caused both of them, and then he very humbly proposes again to Elizabeth, with appropriate concern about her feelings. 

The entire second half of the book is ‘Darcy Is More Considerate Of Others Because He Got Called On His Behaviour And Actually Listened’ and that’s the core of his appeal. Not because he’s a jerk in part one (and I’ve seen so many guys use Darcy as an example of Women Love Jerks Not Nice Guys), but because when someone actually explains to the socially inept egg ‘you are being a jerk and hurting people’s feelings’ his response is ‘oh, shit, I didn’t mean to do that, I will work super hard at never doing that again’. And then he follows through and does work super hard at it and makes the change. 

And that is why we all love Darcy.

[apensivelady-deactivated2025081]

I really like all of this, but I want to make a correction. The movie with Keira Knightley does have the line “your selfish disdain for the feelings of others”.

the deeper i get into fandom the weirder it is to me that Whedon-style nerdboys ever managed to convince people that the True Fans™ are the people who memorize shit and lord their knowledge over other people. like ok you know the exact dimensions of Batman’s cave penny. sure. but did you survive the HP ship wars? do you know how to customize your Ao3 search to filter out all the creepy and/or poorly tagged shit in the massive fandoms? have you ever gotten in a fight over SuperWhoLock? would you last more than ten seconds on _coal or FFA? have you felt the burning pain in your fingers as you scramble to bang out just a hundred more words before the exchange deadline comes down? can you do research to make your in-universe artifacts accurate? can you vid? can you edit .gifs? can you sew costumes and do makeup? like yeah ok you love Jace Beleren enough to know his backstory and all his stats but i’m sorry did you personally stitch what looks like over two hundred eyelets onto your stockings so you could cosplay Liliana Vess? fake geek girls my ass. get back to me when you can do something with the worlds you love other than memorize them.

you know what soulmate aus need? 

more shitty consequences

@krebkrebkreb and I came up with some fun ones, feel free to steal them for your own usage

so basically, in this bullshit universe, skin to skin contact with your soulmate has real and lasting side-effects. While you’re touching, you can get bits and pieces of the other person’s thoughts and feelings, the connection growing stronger the longer the contact lasts. When touching during sleep, you can share dreams! The effect lingers for a few minutes after contact ends. It’s pretty cool, right?

well it is until you spend more than a month without skin contact with your soulmate. Then shit starts to suck for you. ‘Lovesickness’ as its called, has four distinct phases;

phase 1 (roughly a month without physical contact)

mild headaches

fatigue

heavy limbs

light sensitivity

‘skin hunger’; general longing for skin-to-skin contact

commonly mistaken for hangovers/beginning of a flu

phase 2 (roughly a week following symptoms of phase 1)

muscle and joint aches, primarily in the hands

tingling/itching sensation, also primarily in the hands, especially the palms

pain when making fists/flexing or curling fingers

dry mouth

phase 3 (roughly two weeks following symtpoms of phase 2

tunnel vision

extreme hot/cold flashes

fainting

nausea/virtigo

phase 4 (roughly one week following symptoms of phase 3)

general return to normal, if usually depressed

overall numb feeling

emotional malaise

lingering skin hunger

If at any point, you and your soulmate do skin-to-skin contact, this physical hell will end. The more advanced the phase, the longer the contact is needed for symptoms to clear up. Phase 1 takes a few minutes, phase 3 can take up to an hour of prolonged contact. Phase 4 is dubeous and reports vary from couple to couple, because at that point, you’re technically starting the entire cycle over.

You won’t have to worry about any of this crap if you never make skin-contact with your soulmate. If you do, even for a fleeting second, and then go a month without repeated contact, you’re in for some bullshit. Obviously, for some people the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, but for others, its a fucking hastle that could fucking derail your entire life. 

would just be awful if it happened to your OTP, wouldn’t it?
