tangled in stars covered in glitter

man supernatural might be bad but also ill be damned if thats not the most american show ever. like theres movies and tv that've tried to be this american but 99% have failed. you watch a particularly good episode of supernatural and suddenly you feel the hours of highway winds against your skin and theres more asphalt road than livable terrain for miles and you eat the best meal of your life at a pit stop and you havent gone to church since you were a kid but you still think about praying sometimes and you split a 6 pack with someone you love and a few too many people around you have guns and the land around you is so big when youre right in the center of it you feel like it could swallow you up and you know for a fact theres an unimaginable amount of mythology just beneath the surface. and then you watch the next episode where sam kills paris hilton or something

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

when I was a kid playing lego star wars with my brother and we got to the end when you're playing as anakin and obi wan on mustafar I thought you were supposed to be fighting and killing each other the whole way. you weren't, it's a normal co-op level, and there were no unique pvp mechanics or anything. you lose a bunch of your studs when you die, just like normal, but I thought that was intentionally symbolic of how much anakin's hubris and lust for power was only hurting himself or something, so we kept killing each other and the level took so fucking long to get through because of it

Need that heavy rain sound type of night

i know we all laugh (mostly fondly) about the paper-thin plots in porn that only exist to make the sex happen, but i was reading some old stargate fic over the weekend, and i really think we're sleeping on the paper-thin hurt/comfort plot that only exists to force the characters to FEEL THINGS.

like, is this scenario realistic? no. does it make any rational sense? no. does it provide a built-in excuse for a character to collapse, bloody and disoriented, into the arms of his beloved/friend/partner? obviously, that's the whole point of this exercise.

i love it. it's my favorite thing in the world.

My absolute favourite thing is when someone does this but they commit really hard and end up writing a masterpiece. It is essential that the plot is still paper thin or wildly implausible, but the characters and the emotional beats will change your entire life.

richard -> dick so obviously we should start the charles -> cock process

how the fuck do you get cock from charles

you ask him nicely

The Richard-dick naming situation actually comes from a fad that existed back in I think it was the 17th or 18th century, can’t remember which. But the naming fad/convention of the time was for rhyming secondary nicknames for names that already had a 4 letter nickname. Ie: William-will-bill, Richard-rick-dick

so it’d be Charles-chuck-fuck

babygirl i sit hunched in ways you’d never fuckin believe

Always very funny to go from tumblr culture (Harry Potter basically, like, anathemized) to coworkers or relatives just casually bringing it up with zero idea about why the franchise would even be controversial. Unironically one of the bigger bubbles I forget I'm in.

researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i'm delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it's designed to be as annoying as possible

this one is my favourite. it's called a swordbreaker. it looks like a weaponised version of snagging your clothes on a door handle. if you caught my blade in one of these things there isn't a force on earth that could deliver you from my fury.

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

I can be trusted with fangs. I can be trusted with claws. I can be trusted with wings. I can be trusted with a tail. I can be trusted with horns. I can be trusted with cybernetics. I can be trusted with a form I wasn't born into. Give it. Give it to me

No single line has ever wrecked me as hard as this one from the Good Place and I think about it constantly

and these. i am sure you're engaging your core or something v healthy when playing on them, but then there's the added THRILL of nearly crashing your skull into the ground!

Most spa treatments are pseudoscientific woo-woo bullshit but goddamn if it doesn't sound great like yeah man bathe me in mineral water in the magic crystal circle and fill me with healing frequencies that will 100% fix me I know it will
