“It’s simple. Don’t start something you know you can’t finish and don’t make promises you can’t keep. Be consistent, mean what you say, and let your actions speak for you. All else will fall into place.”

— R.M. Drake

infuriatingly kind

“He Tian looks like he would be mean in bed,” Jian Yi comments to Guan Shan one day. Half joking, half not. Guan Shan chews on the statement for a bit, way past the point of being embarrassed by such a statement.

“He’s not,” Guan Shan denies simply.

In fact he’s the opposite, he’s infuriatingly kind. Caring with gentle whispers of “are you alright?’ and “is this okay?”. Gentle in the way that even when he tries to bruise he soothes the heat with kisses in the aftermath. Lovely as he breathes achingly sweet compliments onto Guan Shan’s skin. And he’s warm, so impossibly warm when he clings onto Guan Shan afterwards, holding him like he never wants to let go.

“He’s not,” Guan Shan repeats strongly when Jian Yi looks at him in disbelief.

Jian Yi gives him a look that questions him for more but Guan Shan doesn’t elaborate because some things are just for himself.

Nichelle Nichols’s impact can not be overstated.

She was the first black woman to go to space on tv (and her impact on representation on TV should also not be understated) but she also campaigned for NASA applications of diverse voices. Her campaign led to the recruitment of Sally Ride (first American woman in space), col. Guion Bluford (first black astronaut in NASA), and Mae Jeminson (first black woman in space).

Without her personal recruitment campaign (which she threatened to sue NASA if she put her reputation on the line to bring in these applications if they then did not go on to hire any of them) who knows how much longer it would have taken to get anyone other than a white man as a NASA astronaut.

I love you angry characters I love you revenge arcs I love you protagonists who kill people and don’t feel bad about it I love you manipulative heroes I love you gray morals I love you terrifying protagonists I love you characters who hold boiling grudges I love you characters who reveal that their perceived harmlessness was just patience the whole time I love you stories about atonement and rage and vengeance that don’t end in forgiveness or guilt I love you stories that explore the healing power of incandescent rage

Decided to google ancient Roman medicine for some reason, and I'm losing it at the guy who's treatment for every ailment involved some form of cabbage

Image description: text from wikipedia that reads: In Rome, before there were doctors, the paterfamilias (head of the family) was responsible for treating the sick. Cato the Elder himself examined those who lived near him, often prescribing cabbage as a treatment for many ailments ranging from constipation to deafness. He would issue precise instructions on how to prepare the cabbage for patients with specific ailments. He also used cabbage in liquid form. For example, a mixture of cabbage, water, and wine would be embedded in a deaf man's ear to allow his hearing to be restored. Cato would treat fractured or broken appendages with two ends of a cut reed that were bandaged around the injury
