All of you people in clone club back in 2015 didn't say anything when I was like "yeah I'm a cis straight woman"... so 8 years and a global pandemic later I am hella queer non-binary and also autistic which I didn't know then either.

what we’re not gonna do is slander tatiana maslany’s good name because of m*rvel’s lazy and bad production quality that queen did not play more characters on orphan black than the rest of the cast put together to then be let down by us as well

Tatiana Maslany wearing a shirt that says ‘SUPPORT TRANS FUTURES’ on it to promote She-Hulk for Marvel Studios and Disney, and therefore forcing them to have that on their social medias for the world to see, including who knows how many queer kids and their guardians, is fucking awesome and I thank her for that.

baby moiraine:

A frown creased her forehead for a moment, and then Moiraine felt that small tingle again as the light of saidar briefly surrounded the other woman. Any woman who could channel could feel another wielding the Power if she was close enough, but the tingle was unusual. Women who spent a lot of time together in their training sometimes felt it, but the sensation was supposed to fade away over time. Hers and Siuan’s never had. 

and twenty (20) years later:

As soon as the door closed the Amyrlin stood, and Moiraine felt a momentary tingle in her skin as the other woman channeled the One Power. For an instant, the Amyrlin Seat seemed to her to be surrounded by a nimbus of bright light.

this is so sweet. i really wish they had interacted more in the main series.

You know something I love about Elayne? It’s that she’s unapologetically a Princess. There’s no “I’m not a regular princess, I’m a cool princess” vibe to her: she loves clothes and jewels and finery, she stares down her nose at people, she throws little tantrums and stomps her slippered foot, she gets very offended when people don’t recognize her or treat her with the respect she feels she is due. She is Peak Princess.

There’s also other aspects of her as a character: she’s desperate to learn and try out new skills, she wants to step outside her comfort zone and prove her worth, she is loyal and loving, she carries around supplies to help injured animals (and Dragons). None of this is in spite of being a princess but rather compliments it: she’s led a sheltered life but cares deeply and wants to be of use to her people.

Yeah she occasionally annoys the crap out of me, but I have mad respect for unapologetic high femmes.

There is no more treacherous question in the WoT fandom than 'who is your favorite character?' because your only choices are:

  1. One of the central characters of the narrative in which case you must include a LENGTHY disclaimer on the various, possibly numerous in universe and out controversies that surround that character, to nip discourse in the bud.
  2. One of the Problematic Good Guys, i.e the characters who are not explicitly heroes, or even protagonists, and who are definitely morally questionable at best, but whose problematicness makes them extremely memorable, and whose importance to the books makes them indispensable. For this one you better have a whole ass essay ready to defend your love of them, or be prepared to be roasted at the stake.
  3. One of the villains, with the same result, but the added layer of having to insist it has nothing to do with being attracted to them, weather you are or are not, so you can maintain a scrap of respectability
  4. One of the hundreds of secondary characters who may or may not have vanished half way through the series and who also may or may not have reappeared late in the series, the best case scenario here is a knowing nod of understanding, the worst case a devastating 'that person? why?', this one is the highest risk, highest reward
  5. One of the thousands of extremely minor characters who none the less Jordan managed to imbue with just enough personality and depth that if you're paying attention it's crystal clear they've got their whole own thing going on. (This is the category into which I sort the likes of Emarin, Perival, Talaan, Lars, Sashelle and the like- characters who get no PoV but who by their sheer presence and implied backstories I would read whole ass novels about). This one is the safest, because the response is almost always going to be 'wait who?'

Stuff like this reminds me that not only are Elephants immensely intelligent and deeply social, they also generally consider humans to be legitimately “cute/adorable” in the same way we do for dogs or cats.

This playful elephant is likely acting accordingly.
