the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.
if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.
Fact: The earliest reliably dated use of the phrase “fucked up” appears in the court records of a US Navy court-martial case from 1863; the way the phrase is used suggests that its meaning was already well known at the time, but this is the first known printed record of it that we can confidently put a date to.
Additional fact: Bram Stoker’s Dracula is set in 1897.
Conclusion: It would not anachronistic for your Dracula fanfic to have a character describe the Count as a fucked up old man.
For some reason I’m still seeing people being racist about the Disney+ PJO show, so if you’re out there hating on Leah for being a black Annabeth, here’s what you need to realize:
A big part of Annabeth’s character is how she felt she was never taken seriously because of the way she looked. In the books, it was specifically because she was blonde, and blondes were seen as dumb.
Well, that stereotype is much less common today, and most blondes aren’t really looked down upon. But you know who is? People of color. Especially young black girls. Leah’s Annabeth will still have to deal with prejudice because of how she looks.
Annabeth’s key trait wasn’t her hair color, it was how she proved to be the best despite how others judged her. It just so happens that her skin color is now what causes her to be judged.
I think Leah is perfect to play Annabeth in today’s world. Just how young blonde girls used to be empowered by book Annabeth, I know Leah’s Annabeth will teach young black girls that they can be everything she is.

i'd say i'm shocked or devastated at ned cheating on ariel with alex but tbh he always gave me peter pettigrew of the group vibes so
Snazzy parts of the books that weren't in the movies:
Unexpected Wonders…
Anne Hathaway and Zendaya for Bulgari
Twilight but instead of Edward and Bella being all “say it” “you’re a vampire” in the woods, she asks Edward increasingly suspicious questions like if he enjoys garlic bread, if he has mirrors in his room, does he like bats, and if he knows a good coffin maker.
Edwards finally breaks at “so I heard you’re not in the woodworking class, is it because you get nervous around freshly sharpened wood?”
Since the new cast is closer and closer everyday to getting revealed, pjo fans on twitter started this campaign as a reminder! Becky's tweet is linked on the tag above! I’m bringing it to Tumblr to spread the word :)
polish government has opened a website for ukrainians seeking safety and trying to cross the ukrainian-polish border:
ua.gov.pl
as of 13:10 polish time, it has been said as many people as possible will be let through the borders. they are also supposed to let through children who do not have passports, as to not divide families.
Can someone create a petition in which we can make it a rule that the politicians who decide to have a freaking war also have to fight in the front lines and not sit on their ass in their nice home? Because, let's be real, every single time they let millions of people die, being unable to compromise in the name of peace. I bet with ya'll they would make more effort if they had to endure these horrific situations themselves in first hand. Both, Russia and the US are acting like fucking children.
if there IS going to be new gilmore girls content, as is being perhaps-baselessly speculated about, then they should make a tv show about hep alien randomly striking it big in the year 2022 and being like ?!?!?!?! about how to handle it at this stage in their lives after like 20 years of being a band
the main cast is lane (who is obviously the center of it all), zach, brian, gil, steve and kwan, and mrs. kim, and maybe some other characters we don’t know yet. a music exec lady, perchance?
all of the stars hollow townie actors would obviously have to be on it in a supporting cast capacity, since the kim-van gerbigs’ home base is stars hollow. even lauren graham would have to show up sometimes despite being a busy bee. occasional lorelai is necessary, sorry mate, it’s just the rules.
ANYWAY, i feel so deeply in my bones that this is a great premise for a show and i hope somebody out there at netflix or freeform or something is listening to me right now.
(i just feel like freeform has some weird cosmic right to gilmore girls content due to iconically showing the reruns daily for so many years, and they make a lot of great tv shows, ps you should check out single drunk female even though that isn’t the point of this post)
LANE KIM WILL HAVE HER DAY!
I relate to all of the March sisters for different reasons and I think that's my problem in life.
