Draco’s attempts at flirting with an oblivious Harry is my favourite trope ever.
Reminder that the US is slowly committing genocide on Puerto Ricans through environmental racism and colonial repression.
Why does this only have so few notes?
Because half the reblogs are fucking conservatives that dont know the definition of environmental racism and are more concerned with discrediting “democrats” than doing anything for anybody. They got up on their white people pedestal to derail the entire post about real colonial issues. Now everyone is just missing the point.
I just didnt want to spread their comments so I wont reblog from them, sorry. I needed to vent.
Literally Puerto Rico is still under the responsibility of the U.S. government. You WOULD NOT see the government respond to white suburbaners with no fucking power for weeks with this:
[ video is Puerto Rico riots because of austerity cuts that are very severe. There are riot police everywhere. ]
The austerity cuts are to pay off all the debts and build back anything that was ruined. “In most macroeconomic models, austerity policies generally increase unemployment as government spending falls... Austerity measures are used by governments that find it difficult to pay their debts.”
The U.S. is the richest Empire in the world, it spends 20,000$ a second on maintaining this supremacy around the world. Yet it can’t find money to fix a few things in it’s own State. Hmmmm. Sounds deliberate.
god outta nowhere i just remembered the time i was in a game where the dm didn’t read one of the character’s backstories carefully enough and allowed someone to make it all the way to the final session with the hidden ability to turn into a motorcycle
lydia you cant just say stuff like this and then not explain exactly how this was performed
k so. one of the first big games i played with my current meatspace gaming group was a really excellent post-apocalyptic homebrew game. really excellent. but it was also wild as hell, had a lot of players, and was the dm’s first big game, so it was at times a real exercise in controlled chaos. and my good bro willie…my bro willie was kind of at the brunt of it. both in that he always to this day plays really chaotic characters that can’t avoid trouble, and also in that due to that and other misfortunes he died like every other session towards the end. he went through five or six characters by the time the campaign was over. one didn’t even last a full session. it was remarkable to witness actually. but anyway, towards the end, the dm was fairly overwhelmed and dealing with a lot of other characters doing epic-level wasteland nonsense, and kinda threw reading willies backstories to the wayside. which was unfortunate for him, because willie hails from the ‘3 pages or more’ school of backstories, and by this time in the campaign was coping with his characters’ constant deaths by planning backup character well in advance, to the point where they all had intricate, complex connections to each previous character. so when he dies due to circumstances out of his control before the very last few sessions (the first but certainly not last character death he had due to betrayal: willie im still sorry) its not too suprising that he comes back as this brooding edgy darth vader guy with a five page backstory about how he had obtained a horrific nanosuit cyborg body, and the dm approves it, but sure as hell doesn’t read the whole thing bc he’s planning the final confrontation at this point.
cut to the middle of the incredibly serious final session, where his character and my character and my character’s children are fighting for their lives to escape the facility where they are currently caught in the crossfire between a raging, dying artificial intelligence and religiously zealous psychic juggernaut (long story). the dm is giving us a very bleak countdown of how long we have to get out before the whole place collapses but his character just turns to mine with a “don’t worry, just trust me” and willie smiles, looks up at the dm, and is like, “i activiate my nanite body and turn into a motorcycle”, which unfortunately was completely street legal with what he’d detailed in his backstory, so that’s exactly what he fuckin did, as the dm put his head in his hands.
end result: we survived.
this is my favorite 3 paragraphs ive ever read thank you lydia

if u ever find a genie and you’re really craving a dessert that looks like this:
do NOT say “i’d like a lifetime supply of raspberry crowns”
while this is, in fact, the name of the pastry, it’s ALSO the name of a species of wasp for some reason. the genie, being a nasty trickster, will no doubt give you a bunch of wasps.
this is an oddly specific post are you ok
fellas what is it about thor that when I look at him I think “lesbian icon”
its the fact that he’s a lesbian icon
Thor: can I buy you a drink?
Lesbian : actually I like girls
Thor: Wonderful! I like them as well. Would you like to join me in buying drinks for beautiful women?
Thor looks like he gives great hugs and will let you cry on him when your girlfriend leaves you and then sets you up with an Asgardian hottie who treats you like a Faberge egg.
I expect nothing less from a man who wanted to be a Valkyrie
my wonka death would be asking mr wonka why he doesn’t solve world hunger, and he plays a little song on his flute and then the oompa loompas come and beat me into twinkie batter for my hubris
Thor took groot as an elective which means growing up he was the rare combination of nerd and jock and idk why people are surprised i mean the boy talks astrophysics wirh bruce 7 phd’s banner like its nothing and when he drops down to earth which clique does he immediately join? Not shield!! Not the avengers!! Some podunk star scientists out in the middle of nowhere on an extended camping trip like!! Whilst loki was painting his nails to match his cufflinks, thor was studying foreign languages as he benchpressed heimdall. Thor isnt your garden variety jock he’s a bookworm jock, easily found stargazing or doodling in his moleskin journal
Loki: Why you would want to talk to sentient trees? Thor: Why wouldn’t you? They are sentient trees!!
