Everyone look at the quilt my grandma made me!! I’ve actually had it for a few years now but I wanted to post it so y’all could admire it!

the other thing about Internet dogpiling is that it is just not possible to think clearly during the acute stages. it’s so easy to criticize people for responding defensively or tactlessly to mass criticism but I cannot overstate the degree to which your brain becomes a rat in a trap. I think we do have to temporarily recalibrate our expectations in these circumstances and accept that they do not necessarily represent how that person responds to criticism. the skills for self-regulating and reacting to normal interpersonal criticism are not the same skills needed to respond to viral callouts.

Worldbuilder: I can't use this town name again, it'd be confusing for the reader.

Real life people: This is a great spot for another Springfield.

weirdest part of being an adult is the fact that you can put off watching a movie for nearly a decade and barely notice

There are many people who don’t share this sentiment, but I have an appreciation for when a fanfic is so separated from canon that it could’ve easily been its own original novel, and yet the author was only ever going to put that much energy into it if their favourite characters got to be there

[pillowspace]

I think there’s a difference between “the author stripped the media of everything it had to replace it with something easy” and “the author thought up a concept they really really like and are bestowing it upon the character like a medal”

early to bed and early to rise leaves a man so fucked up that he dies

The Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad is, to a modern audiences, what classicists have called “boring as hell,” but I can’t help but think that if you were watching Homer recite it it would have been more like when comedians go, “anybody here tonight from Chicago?” and the Chicagoans in the back start cheering

Homer’s like, “and there were forty black ships from… LOCRIS” and the Locrians in the crowd start going absolutely nuts

snakes really make you appreciate how gross mammals really are. squamates are very dry and clean

a bird is a kind of reptile that has learned to be yucky.

I love that Les Misérables is one of the most profound and devastating historic-tragedies ever written, but also has chapter names reminiscent of a Percy Jackson novel

finished PBS Count of Monte Cristo and I feel like. it's a serviceable adaptation in that it does a perfectly fine job at conveying 'here's what happens in the book' and yet also doesn't at all get across the actual tone or impression of the book. mostly because it takes itself very seriously and the book is like. actually fun. if anything this is almost like how I expected the book to feel back before I read it and went 'wait this is actually a riot. I'm having a blast'. shout-out for keeping my lesbians in it now maybe we could work on a version where somebody involved knows what camp is

I think that if you lose an arm and get fitted for a prosthetic u should get to refer to your prosthetist as your arms dealer
