didja miss me?

the omgcp fandom really has trouble fathoming the fact that jack spent the entirety of his time at samwell deeply in the closet. he wasn’t out to anyone. he wasnt out to shitty or any of his teammates, or bitty. jack zimmermann went through all 4 years of college surrounded by his favorite people in the world, completely aware of his own sexuality, and told absolutely none of them that he was queer. 

this isn’t a story about a private man who prefers to keep his private business to himself. this is a narrative about a terrified, world-renowned athlete who grew up in a homophobic environment and has been conditioned to tell as few people about his attraction to men as possible. it’s about a young, queer addict who’s burdened with an anxiety disorder, who was planning to go the rest of his life without telling another living soul that he liked men. and i firmly believe that if he hadn’t met and fallen in love with bitty, he would have gone through with that plan.

It really got to me that Shitty didn’t know, and that Jack didn’t seem even a little rattled by his drunken confrontation. (We only get one panel of his face in that scene, but I’ve always read Bitty’s anxiety and uncertainty about their relationship stemming partly from how seemingly easy it is for Jack to pretend like it doesn’t exist even in front of people who are really close.)

sometimes i lie down and think about how we have check, please and the foxhole court and adam/ronan and wylan/jesper and rhy/alucard and the captive prince trilogy and yet I cannot name a single f/f ship or f/f oriented property on even close to the same level of popularity as any of those and get real sad. I’m always saying to myself “i want to read more f/f YA” but what I REALLY want is for f/f to be as ubiquitous and loved and fangirled over. we deserve that.

Actually, This is how the webcam was invented. 

At Cambridge University, they were sick of checking the coffee pot level, so Quentin Stafford-Frasier wrote client software for a greyscale 128x128 camera hooked up to an acorn archemedes computer.  Paul Jardetzky wrote the server program.

Technology always comes full circle.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Bitty so fucking deliberately filmed his vlog in the kitchen to show off those roses like he could have gone in his room like he usually does his intros or literally anywhere else

“Well, enough about the team, let’s get to baking… Oh, goodness, I’m going to have to clear off a space on this counter, aren’t I? Gracious, I just don’t know where to put all of these vases… Okay, here I’ve got all my ingredients lined up, let me get my pan out and put some parchment paper on it - oh, would you look at that, there’s no room to set the pan down.”
