It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks
full offense but none of you would have ever survived fanfiction.net in 2009
remember when writers had to be all like: “omg omg lemon starts HERE” y’all are lucky that ao3 has tags and filters you can set
Sometimes shit was marked “lemon” and it’d just be them making out, and sometimes they’d just start pissing on each other
No rules, no laws, you took your life into your hands opening fics
A/N: this contains SLASH, that means TWO MEN, if that makes you uncomfy, DON’T READ!
A/N: please don’t sue me, o anime overlords, I’m not making any money off of this! I’m just a broke student! I don’t have any money!
A/N: I totally wrote this while high off 10 Red Bulls wheeeeeee!!!!!
A/N: COMMENT if you want me to continue the next chappy!!!
No, no, no
remember when there’d be interactions with the author and the characters?
InuYasha: I don’t get why I have to be here for this
A/N: Because it was in your contract!!1!1 *revs chainsaw*
god those were lawless times.
“In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“
LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy
i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation!
Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.
Happy 618th anniversary of the day King Taejong fell from his horse!
Apparently the recorders were really intense about this. We have a record of King Taejong complaining about a recorder who followed him on a hunt in disguise and another who eavesdropped on him behind a screen. No one was allowed to see the records, even the king (one king did and killed five men based on what was written there, after which they took greater care to ensure it would never happen again), and changing the content or disclosing it was a capital punishment. Even when there were rival political factions trying to influence the writers, they wrote down what was a revision and what wasn’t and kept an original version with no revisions in it.
They also made sure to back up their data. They made four copies of it, then when three copies were lost in the Imrim Wars they decided to make five more copies just in case. One copy was destroyed in a rebellion, another was partially damaged in an invasion, and Japan stole one copy during their occupation and moved it to Tokyo University, where it was mostly destroyed in the Kanto Earthquake (47 books remained and were returned to South Korea in 2006). Now the whole thing is digitized, free on the internet, and translated into modern Korean for all to see.
It took centuries of meticulous recorders, justifiably paranoid copiers, absolutely determined historians, and painstaking infrastructure for this joke to be possible. Happy 618th anniversary to the day King Taejong fell from his horse.
Happy 619th anniversary to the day King Taejong fell from his horse!
happy 620th anniversary of the day a king fell off his horse everybody
Sorry, you've given her the exclusive right to feed you random stuff she finds interesting
some characters in 7th Time loop look like Genshin Impact characters.😳
Our song choice this week is for our favorite ED of the current season, 7th Time Loop. It's Kienai (Not Disappearing) by THE BINARY, and it focuses on artwork of the characters enjoying day-to-day activities. Enjoy!
Apparently this is news to everyone
“I thought for sure you’d come in a hemp dress and simple robe.” “Am I really so predictable?” “This is the work of your maids, eh?” “Ugh…” “You seem to be laboring under a misunderstanding. These clothes will work just fine.” “Really?” “I’ll have to thank your maids myself.” (✿)

“Wait. What’s that unsettling red object?” “It’s fruit from Coyolles. I know the color is weird and it looks slimy, but it’s very filling and nutritious. It’s good for you, try a bite.” “Hold on. I can’t get past how it looks.” “It’s good for you! What do you think? It’s sweeter than it looks and, as I said, it’s very nutritious.” “…Yeah, nutritious. It tastes nutritious.” “My, what a sour face.” (✿)
7TH TIME LOOP (2024)
#08. the color of the sea beyond the horizon ・ 海色の彼方
“For instance, do you have a favorite color, Lady Rishe?” “A favorite color…?” An answer immediately leapt to Rishe’s mind. She looked up at Arnold beside her, and their eyes met. He hadn’t been looking at the gems on the table—he’d been looking at her. His eyes were a beautiful blue. His brother Theodore’s were similar, but Arnold’s were a bit lighter; they always made Rishe think of ice. That color is like the clear water of a frozen sea. She may have first noticed it when she faced off against him in her life as a knight. Or was it only in this life? She’d looked into those eyes so many times in this last month that she couldn’t remember. But looking up and seeing her reflection there gave her such a strange feeling… “Do you have a gem that’s the same color as his eyes?” she heard herself ask. (✿)

This was supposed to be a wholesome shoujo anime but I guess 7th Time Loop can't help but put Assassin's Creed references. I know Rishe's presence detection ability is nifty, but it's perfectly the anime version of Eagle Vision. Wonder who directed this sequence since it's GOOD
doctor who companions will go "he's the most incredible man i've ever met... he's like fire; bright, brilliant, and burning whatever gets too close." and then the camera turns and it's Some Guy eating sand
Probably an odd question, and I am terribly sorry if you’ve been asked this before. In Good Omens, is being gay considered a sin or is it just cool? Just wondering :)
I don't believe that the God in the Good Omens universe cares about that stuff, and I'm not sure that any of the angels (or demons) could accurately articulate what "gay" is or what human genders are anyway.
Except you had Uriel literally taunting Aziraphale by saying “your boyfriend in the dark glasses.” I think angels are well aware of what gayness is and used it in a way that felt uniquely homophobic towards Aziraphale 🤔
It wasn’t written with that intention and wasn’t delivered that way by Uriel. The thing that was bad that Uriel was alluding to was the possibility that an Angel and a Demon were friends or possibly more than friends. The homophobia is perhaps something you brought to the scene yourself.
(You would have been better off pointing at Sandalphon and Sodom and Gomorrah, but I’ve always been with Ezekiel on the crime of Sodom being that they were arrogant, unconcerned and didn’t help the needy and the poor.)
Yes!! The interpretation of Sodom and Gomorrah that I've always heard from my Rabbis is that the townspeople were punished (among other crimes) for violating the sacred protections afforded to strangers and travelers.
It had nothing to do with punishing gay people.
As far as the crowd knows, the Malachim (Angels) are just strangers who are traveling through the city. Lot has invited them into his home, and so they are now given the divine protection afforded to guests. The "moral" of the story is that if someone comes to us seeking refuge, we have a sacred obligation to treat them with dignity and care. That is what the townspeople of Sodom and Gomorrah are guilty of violating in this instance.
The belief in the divine protection of strangers and travelers was also common in the ancient world. In Ancient Greece, for instance, Zeus had an aspect called Zeus Xenios, or Zeus the god of Strangers, where Zeus protected strangers who came to a city seeking refuge.
Also, Neil, sir, I'm copying your tags. These are priceless:
The only bad part about classical music is the names
Oh fuck yeah my favorite song, Blorbobio Suite No. 117, Op.5, W.1099 in K Major for String Quartet. It's a banger.
To be fair to the composers these pieces weren't intended to be listened to in isolation but as part of a longer piece (a symphony or opera for example) which usually had a normal name or at least a simple one.
Music scholars are even worse at naming things than historians.
