For those who aren’t getting the brilliance- this couple (?) is streaming World of Warcraft and I think are dressed up as their characters. Two normal sized people, one of whom is playing a dwarf. And who takes it upon himself to pretend to be too short to just get off his chair and then, aware that his SO also has her camera going, proceeds to walk across the frame on his knees to give the illusion that he’s actually that short.
i need this
I appreciate this video a lot--people don't realize how important it is to start slow if you're trying to come back from a completely sedentary lifestyle, and they get really hurt as a result. Straining your muscles too much, too suddenly can land you in the E.R. and the wrong joint injury can permanently affect your mobility, so please start with absolute basics and easy stretches!

Do it easy and slow, but do it!
MOTS 7: Angels
Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book. It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.
there’s a timeskip
THERE’S A TIMESKIP
THERE’S A TIMESKIP
THERE’S A TIMESKIP
after losing control of the signal fire there’s a FUCKING TIMESKIP and when the next chapter starts everyone’s hair is several inches longer and their clothes have rotted to shreds and they’re still just kind of chilling!!!!
IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH
AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because
THERE’S AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING
AND A PILOT’S CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA
BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM
HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -
IT DIDN’T HAPPEN THAT WAY IN LORD OF THE FLIES EITHER YOU JUST HAVEN’T READ IT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL IF EVER AND DON’T REMEMBER WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE GODDAMN BOOK
yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.
i read about this in rutger bregman’s human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you don’t want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

Next time someone asks me to explain Tumblr I’m going to show them this and say “No.”
Xena doing solidarity right.
Here She Comes…Miss Amphipolis.
This episode is so fucking wild to me.
Not just because an arguably trans woman (I don’t remember it really being made explicit whether she’s trans or GNC) is the guest protagonist and is written as a whole ass normal person who is beautiful and her cis dude romantic partner knows and he’s just desperately, hopelessly in love with her and wants everything for her, and she ends up winning the beauty pageant and this episode came out in 1997 when we, as a culture, were still calling things “gay” because we thought they were dumb or cringey.
Like, that’s why this episode is beautiful and important.
But less important but also wild to me is that the entire episode is the plot of Miss Congeniality three years before Miss Congeniality was released. I don’t remember what the specific threat was, but Xena’s there because she had to go undercover in the pageant because there was a plot against it and the women in the pageant were going to get hurt. And Xena is, of course, not a girly-girl, so she complained and was awkward and did some very Not Pageant-y things on stage, but inexplicably still ended getting pretty far. But instead of winning the way you might expect it to go, she ends up losing to a supporting character who you’ve come to love and sympathize with, who the pageant means so much to, and who’s worked so hard to be there and really deserves it.
Oh and also, even wilder, if you’re looking at Gabrielle up there in the turban and the high collared robe and thinking the whole Look seems familiar? It’s probably because you’ve watched Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends because she’s dressed (and also kind of talks!) suspiciously like The Duchess
Do I know for certain that The Duchess was at all inspired by Gabrielle’s undercover persona in this random Xena episode that aired 7 years before Foster’s premiered? Absolutely not. But it’s a hilarious coincidence if not.
I don’t know if Karen Dior ever said definitely if she was a trans woman or a drag performer - in those days, there was a lot more muddiness about drag vs trans, which I kind of miss sometimes tbh. Not everyone wants that kind of clear-cut line and it can be restrictive but anyway:
I don’t think it matters much if it was GNC vs drag vs trans. What matters more to me personally is that Lucy Lawless kissed Karen Dior on camera in 1997, and Karen Dior very publicly had AIDS (it’s why she left adult films). This was a big deal bc ppl still had very confused ideas about how AIDS could spread. That kiss wasn’t just a queer kiss no matter how you slice it, it was “you can’t get AIDS by kissing someone.”
When Lucy Lawless appeared at the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras in 1999, she wore the gown that Miss Amphipolis wears in those last gifs.
Also, I can’t find the reference now, but I’m like 75% sure I read somewhere that they wanted to cut the kiss, and Lucy Lawless said “No.”
Phenomenal.
realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"
well. did it bored 👍
DO IT SCARED. DO IT BAD. DO IT BORED. DO IT HALFWAY. DO IT WRONG. DO IT EMBARRASSED. DO IT UGLY. DO IT LATE. DO IT DIFFERENT. but by god do it <3!!
This is from a few days ago ⤵️
still amazes me that by season 45 or whatever, Supernatural was being exclusively watched by delusionally hopeful women with flamingo-salinity tolerance for bad writing and the creators still couldn’t pander to them because maybe there was 1 straight guy out there still accidentally watching it
