childhood emotion of wanting a dragon that is your friend so bad that it feels like there is a vacuum in your soul that only a dragon who is your friend can fill

i think my fav thing about tumblr memes is that they have like… an incubation period. i swear i remember seeing the original horse plinko post around a month or two ago its like everyone scrolled past it but then only just now was like Wait thats hilarious

[frottinq]

The fact that you have to call places you're applying to sometimes and be like "hey btw I applied. any news?" to supposedly "let them know you're interested" is like... so fucking stupid. like I fucking applied. call me back. I don't need to be the one to fucking take initiative because I took initiative by applying in the first place. you need someone in the job. I applied. call me. or tell me you don't need me. fuck you and die. everywhere that has ever hired anyone, I hope you burn down

to my followers: are you canadian or no, and how big of an impact did this man have on your life?

and without googling, do you know his name?

i love reading sad books bc when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you're also grieving for yourself a little bit

[petrichara]

‘There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you—may cleanse you of your darkness. Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor could do it for you? Isn’t that why they are called actors? They act for you. You sacrifice them to action. And this sacrifice is a mode of deepest intimacy of you with your own life. Within it you watch [yourself] act out the present or possible organization of your nature. You can be aware of your own awareness of this nature as you never are at the moment of experience. The actor, by reiterating you, sacrifices a moment of his own life in order to give you a story of yours.’

-Anne Carson, ‘Grief Lessons: Four Plays By Euripides’

can y'all stop reducing every single thing to ur dumbass fandom bullshit. like ANTIS?? girl we're talking about real books not your stupid fuckin snape x draco mpreg fic

[ober-affen-geil]

You think “antis” don’t exist outside of fandom? You think “real books” are not subjected to people who don’t want them to exist? You think “read and write dark stories” only applies to fanfic here? You think fics are not “real books”?

You posted something on a Got Damn Social Media Site about stories and expect people not to include fic in it???????? You posted on Tumblr Dot Com about enjoying stories that allow you to grieve and are lashing out at people applying the language cultivated on the site that you posted on to what you said?????????

Good fucking god.

Btw here is a list of “real books” that are doing exactly what you’re talking about in your original post that are being affected by “irl antis” it’s called the banned and challenged books list and it’s updated every year, in case you needed someone to frame it in The Context That You Meant and not *******fandom******* despite the fact that you posted on a fandom site.

[vympr]

nothing personal babe but judging by the fact that you're likening bakudeku omegeverse fic on ao3 to the bluest eye by toni fuckin morisson, i am willing to bet 1 million dollars that you have not read a single book on that banned books list that you weren't required to read by your state's educational curriculum

[countesssrostova]

you're laughing. lin manuel miranda and the cast of hamilton perform dear theodosia as a commemoration of the january 6th insurrection and you're laughing.

Edna Mode has all the vibes of a villain but is actually good and that is why she is one of the greatest characters in any super hero movie.

[luckyladylily]

“So you don’t know where he is… Would you like to find out?” The timing, the delivery, the undercurrent of smugness that she was right all along. The temptation. And that isn’t even her only great villain line!

“You know I’m retired from hero work.”

“As am I Robert, and yet here we are.”

Absolutely iconic.

im the robot

[titleknown]

Again, this is even funnier if you know what a fucking production nightmare, with a possible curse attached to it no less, this robot prop was for the Doctor Who crew…

[bogleech]

I want to know about the cursed robot

[choppers-pink-hat]

So the robot isn’t a guy in a suit, it’s an animatronic/puppet thing, and it wasn’t built for the show. In fact, no one knows who built it, one of the producers just FOUND IT ONE DAY in a building near the studio. It had apparently been built for another production that was cancelled and then just left to gather dust. So they thought “oh cool, let’s make this dumb robot the Doctor’s new companion, it’ll look neat and weird, everyone will have a gas with it.” NOPE. Kamelion was incredibly complicated to operate, so they assigned a guy named Mike Powers to figure out the best way to go about it. Apparently he did a great job streamlining Kamelion’s operation, and then he promptly died in a boating accident (which is where the “curse” idea comes from.) He didn’t leave any notes or instructions, and the show was already behind schedule, so they had to rush Kamelion’s scenes into production with no idea how it worked. It was a gigantic pain in the ass to use, took forever to set up, and needed constant upkeep and repairs. Everyone hated working with the prop, to the point that before Kamelion’s first episode even aired, they had already decided to kill him off later in the same season. Peter Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor, had the most scenes with Kamelion, and absolutely hated it. When Kamelion dies, the Doctor is really sad, but Davison said later that it was one of the best acting jobs of his career, because in reality, he was absolutely giddy with joy at being rid of the thing.

tl,dr: In the 80′s a Mystery robot prop built by unknown hands caused chaos on the Doctor Who set.

[elleanneblog]

finding an abandoned mystery robot and bringing it home, leading to death, is the most doctor who plot ive ever heard

I didn’t read the subtitles on the picture until after reading everything said below it and I don’t regret that decision because it made it even more funnier

i really do enjoy stories and character arcs that explore anger as a positive or at least curative force. that can allow room to say that, yes, too much anger and anger without direction can be hurtful and exhausting while still acknowledging that anger can be an important motivator.

there can be anger in justice. anger in healing. anger in grieving and bonding and forming a movement.

[colorisbyshe]

less stories with guilt surrounding anger and more stories asking “why shouldn’t i be angry?”

use anger as a point of clarity and focus not irrationality

Locking your mentally ill wife in the uppermost room of your house, and then hiding her existence so you can attempt to marry your young governess? And you’re gaslighting the household whenever your wife breaks out to start fires in themiddle of the night? Talk about problem attic. :/
