making friends via fandom is inherently hilarious because in many ways it's like a regular friendship and sometimes you'll share stuff that's going on in your lives and offer support and talk about food or pets or random cultural stuff because you live on opposite sides of the damn planet, but also some of your interactions are like "hello beloved friend whom I cherish deeply, I have brought you a deceptively platonic gift of lovingly crafted star wars porn"

[ID: an illustration of a ring-tailed lemur on a branch, facing to the left. It is gazing curiously at a small blue butterfly and reaching for it with one paw. The background is light blue with yellow spots. End.]

Ring-tailed lemur! Endemic to Madagascar. They hang out in troops of up to around 30 lemurs, grooming or sunbathing. They’re the most well adapted lemur to terrestrial movement.

Happy light jacket day to all those who celebrate

lol :D

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) dir. John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein

It probably shouldn’t have come as a surprise to Kaidan that Shepard was the type to enjoy risky hobbies. After all, she routinely charged ahead in battle with little more than a shotgun and a biotic barrier between herself and the enemy. 

Yet here he was, heart in his throat as he watched her scale a sheer granite wall with absolutely nothing between her and the rocky, unforgiving ground 10 meters down. It was a mystery to him how she even managed to find her way up that high. There seemed to be zero visible handholds or footholds, but she’d managed to climb up it with unnerving ease.

“You sure you don't want to join me, Alenko?” she called down, pausing in her ascent to look down at him. “The view up here is pretty spectacular.”

“I don't know, the view from down here is pretty good, too,” he responded, looking up at her, or at the part of her that was the most visible to him on the ground. He caught a glimpse of her answering grin. Bold of him, he knew, to comment so brazenly on his commanding officer’s ass. And while that particular view was genuinely arresting, it was hard to focus on it while simultaneously trying to calculate the size of the mass effect field he’d need to generate to catch her if she fell.
