Whoever decided to cancel Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows at Netflix, I hope all your worst nightmares come to life and all your sleep paralysis demons decide to stick with you forever.
me reading six of crows: yes kaz’s perspective i can’t wait to know what the plan is
kaz: lol you and me both anyway let me tell you how beautiful inside out inej is and have i mentioned her laugh because-
annotating six of crows and the funniest part of annotating the ice court heist is just trying to keep track of where tf kaz went in each scene lmao
We pull out the whiteboards, sketch the ice court and move little magnets around like a sports coach
Me Giving a Pressed Conference: our advocacy for the disabled must include the addict, the imperfect victim, those we despise; the right to autonomy and life cannot devolve into a popularity contest
Reporter I Hate (Not Sexual Tension): Does that include all the attendees of the Bored Ape NFT event who went blind
Me: *Blood streaming from my nostrils and eyes* david, it includes everyone
can't keep that in the tags
this is so fuckin funny
"B-but we're both girls!" [cutely beats you with a hammer]
Oh, cool. Cool cool cool.
So... we're heading for an era of extreme reactionary backlash.
The question is it going to be like 1980's style or 1930's style.
We shit on rainbow capitalism (as we should), but it is a good indicator of social acceptance of LGBTQ people. When brands are loud and proud about how much the support gay people('s money), it means the social conditions have moved in our favor and the potential backlash is weak.
Right now, the power is shifting back to the fascists. That's bad.
I kinda hate how the main take away in general seems to be "hahaha I love being a hater, kendrick is the king of being a hater hahaha" or "drake has a secret daughter" and not "there are mysogynist sex pests and pedophiles in the hip hop industry and kendrick used his clout to very publically call out one" like can we please not drop the pedophilia out of this conversation YET AGAIN like the jokes are funny and I also make some but I feel like this should be front and center of the conversation and men in positions of power always get away with this shit
important to mention that it was mainly black women who have been saying this for ages and who continously have been ignored by everyone

They don't actually give a fuck about us
"if we look at the Middle East, I think it's about time we stopped those of us who support—as most of us do—Israel in this body, for apologizing for our support for Israel. There's no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region." - Joe Biden (1986)
Excuse me who and when ?!
a soc fic that’s just inej’s parents realizing their future son-in-law is a literal murderer and gang boss

human brain is so easy to manipulate its stupid. sun is out longer in evening = life is worth living...read some negative social media posts = everybody hates me...read one interesting article = i have the scholar's ambition
There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function
Love how Percy just casually drops lore all throughout the Son of Neptune. Frank and Hazel are getting the encyclopedia knowledge on every monster they encounter plus some extra side stories from how he fought them in gym classes and "oh yea, I had a fist fight with Kronos in Manhatten."
And then they meet Annabeth and realize that behind every goofy looking powerful guy, there's an incredibly smart, capable and even more powerful woman who makes sure he doesn't die on a daily basis and are like, "oh. thats why he's still alive."
No one:
Percy Jackson, depressed teenager first, Son of Poseidon second, at every single possible moment from books 1-5: I Wish I was Able To Drown.
