oh my god and it's a Canada Goose so this is the equivalent of befriending a small demon
OP you're wrong. Duck, duck is the most perfect name for a goose, ever.
This makes me so happy every time I read it. Especially the bit where Guy makes DuckDuck smoothies of all the good stuff he’s meant to eat.
This is the best buddy comedy-drama ever.
doctors be like "we have no idea what causes this extremely mysterious illness" and the illness is something that affects 1 in 8 women
i love that specific ao3 phenomenon where you get a sudden influx of kudos on a work and it’s clear someone shared your fic but you have no idea who they are or where they shared it. it’s like being a dickensian orphan receiving money from a mysterious benefactor.
aziraphale is gonna turn into such a massive bitch in heaven because the coffee is gonna suck and he's going to want to do things the human way and all the angels will be like "what are you doing we have powers for that" and he'll be like "but I like doing it this way" and then he'll get peer pressured into not doing it this way and he'll keep throwing huge hissy fits and be like "oh if only I had someone to complain to" and then everyone will be like "how's the second coming of Christ coming along?" and he'll be like "oh fine fine" when in actuality he's spying on crowley bawling his eyes out to fleetwood mac in a tesco parking lot on a company monitor like a pervert
stephen fry playing a homophobic king is so funny to me. they really said get the man who would hate this character with burning passion. and he ATE
ok, i have to say this before i say anything else about the rwrb movie:
when the book came out, it was groundbreaking. it was one of the first true queer rom coms. this movie is now even more groundbreaking.
yes, some depth and detail was lost from the book, but that’s bound to happen in any adaptation. but before we complain about that, let’s ask ourselves:
exactly how many fluffy, fairy tale, sexy, funny, sugary, queer romance movies are there? you could probably count them all on one hand, and most of them probably aren’t major studio releases.
queer people deserve silly romcom movies too. queer people deserve to see themselves in tender, uncensored intimate moments on screen too. and, correct me if i’m wrong, but i’m pretty sure this is the first time a major motion picture has explicitly mentioned truvada/PrEP and included a conversation between a parent and child about safe queer sex. like…queer people don’t get shit like this, and now we do. and that’s a big deal.
the way sokka looks like his mom but tries so hard to be his dad and the way katara looks like her dad and tries so hard to be her mom is. ouch
it’s like. sokka says he doesn’t know what his mother looks like but throws himself in front of katara time and time again. he comes up with plans and tries to lead armies but inspires and loves and guides five kids without parents instead. he’s creative and funny and goofy and so so so full of love. and katara says that she’s been doing all the work around camp since mom died but all she wants is to learn how to fight. she’s angry at her dad for abandoning her but stands in front of a group of hopeless earthbenders and attempts to rally them with a speech. she tries and tries to be soft but ends up blowing up a factory to save the enemy. sokka wants to be his father but carries his mother’s heart. katara feels like she has to be her mother but has her father’s fight.
This, this right here is the perfect and most accurate character analysis of the Water tribe siblings I have EVER read. 10/10 say it louder. I want to explore this more tell me more write a fucking dissertation on it and I will read the ENTIRE thing! I’m going to pin this, I’m gonna tattoo this on my arm.
“sokka wants to be his father but carries his mother’s heart. katara feels like she has to be her mother but has her father’s fight.”
Well damn if that didn’t hit me right in the feelings.
the only acceptable reason

Sokka and Zuko have one big fight after they get together and it's over who gets Aang as his best man
Sokka, furious: you think you get AANG? I've been friends with him for way longer, he's basically my little brother, he was the first person to make me look at life in an optimistic way!
Zuko, equally pissed: oh big deal, he was the FIRST person to ever offer to be my friend, EVER, and he never completely gave up on me no matter how much reason I gave him to, I would do ANYTHING for that kid
Aang, sobbing: I love you guys so much
Sokka: aw, Aang ❤
Zuko: we love you too ❤
Sokka, back to Zuko: anyway swords at dawn
Zuko: I will fucking destroy you
Katara, watching Sokka and Zuko brawl: if these two keep this up there's not going to BE a wedding. Aang, why don't you just decide whose best man you want to be?
Aang, still weeping: HOW am I supposed to CHOOSE
Katara: don't be silly, obviously you should go with Sokka
Toph: uh, what? He should go with Zuko
Katara: swords at dawn
Uncle Iroh, quietly: Why did you not just tell them that as the Avatar you have the authority to officiate the wedding?
Aang: I have WHAT???
"But you already wrote that trope."
My favorite part of Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is that if you don't play DnD, it's a solid fantasy movie, but if you DO play DnD, you can feel in your soul the table talk that's almost certainly happening over the events of the movie. Like...
"Are you guys sure you don't want to take a perception check?"
"I said we jump out the window."
or
"And he turns and walks directly northwards away from you guys."
"The map shows a rock-"
"HE WALKS OVER THE ROCK."
or
"Fuck it, I throw a potato."
"Okay... roll for potato, I guess."
"That was a 20."
or
"I know we won, but I have bonus actions and I'm going to use them, damn it."
Are we doing Good Vibes Tuesday again? Well, if not, I’m doing Good Vibes Tuesday a week late.
(Thank you for tagging me last week, @mostlyinthemorning, @jesuisici33, @trickiwooao3)
Here's how @mostlyinthemorning explained it: I'm in the mood for some positivity this morning, so let's share something that makes you happy about fandom*. It can be anything you like—a person or blog you appreciate, a post that made you laugh, a fic you liked, anything that puts good vibes into the world.
*fandom can be whatever you want it to be
I’ve been reading 5+1 Things fics (for Schitt’s Creek) and I think all of you who have written them are so creative and fun. I love the various ways the format and subjects are explained. Here are just a few of my favorite “thesis statements”:
(I'll put titles, authors, and links under a cut.)
Found this little guy in the dishwasher
A few months back, I read about a study that found that people who were told to regularly think about things they’re grateful for reported significantly improved physical and mental well-being at the end of the study. So I started going for a walk every day before work and making myself come up with 5 things that I’m grateful for. And I know it sounds like the most cornball shit ever, but it has fundamentally changed my brain chemistry.
I was aware that I was becoming a little bit too much of a sarcastic little hater before I started this experiment. Now I am almost startled to catch myself saying shit like, “Wow, look at the flowers on that tree, I am so grateful I decided to walk this way,” unironically, completely unprompted, and outside of the specific time in the day when I do the gratitude practice. I’ve rewired my brain to look for things to be grateful for, and so I look around me more and find more of them, which makes me feel happier, which makes me find even more good things.
For the record, I’m not saying, “Only think positive thoughts! No bad vibes!” Toxic positivity is probably about as unhealthy as only thinking negative thoughts. Sometimes shit does just suck. I’m not telling you to be grateful for the bad things around you. Being a sarcastic little hater definitely has its place. But setting aside like 2 minutes per day to come up with 5 things you’re grateful for will genuinely improve your outlook. It doesn’t have to be big stuff—sometimes the best I can manage is simple shit like, “I’m grateful that zippers were invented,” but even that forces me to be in the present moment and deepens my appreciation of the world around me. Try it, even if you have to do it badly or sarcastically at first. Even if you only do it so that you can come back and tell me I’m wrong in 3 months. Set a daily alarm on your phone and give it a try.
I love the generational gap between emoji usage. Anyone over 50 sees 🙃 and thinks "silly time! whee 🙃", whereas the rest of us immediately hear, verbatim, "they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would ne--"
