Homestuck's possession of multiple types of time shenanigans is very appealing to me, so the possibility of Doctor Who (wouldn't watch) and Lost (would watch) having a comparable or ambiguously similar relationship with the subject pleases me.

hear me out. Dark & Back to the Future represent exactly opposite ends of the Time Travel Media Spectrum.

you are 16. you are talking with a gay man in his 50s or 60s, a friend, huge and gentle with a scarf and short fluffy curls of gray hair, who has directed you in two plays staged in your mid-size artsy town. (he has not yet asked you to be in his production of The Laramie Project which will change your life. this conversation will also change your life.)

he is talking about theatre. he is talking about theatre when he was younger. he says, "of course, it was AIDS then." in the pause, you ask him. clumsy and quiet and 16 and "straight," you ask him. what was it like.

he takes a moment in which his face is not like a person's face. "there was a time," he says, "i'm not sure how long, years. when i went to a funeral every weekend." he tells you about two funerals in a day, and choosing between friends when you couldn't make it to both. he does not look at you, he looks at them. his wet grey gaze is so clear that you start to see ghosts. it will be years before you understand why it feels like your grief too. why the ghosts call you family.

god i love marcille. bc like. yknow the annoying fandom thing where the main female characters are pigeonholed into being The Braincell and The Responsible Mom Friend to control those rambunctious boys. the thing about marcille is that she earnestly believes she is these things. and this reading makes everything she does so much funnier

If I may be a bit controversial...

I actually don't like the gainax booby bounce on monster falin because it distracts from the horror the scene deserves, and as a fellow monsterfucker I can fully relate to being horny and terrified at once, so no judgement it just didn't do it for me

Also tumblr is weird about Laios, he's actually very compassionate but y'all try to make him into this guy

I just had to, it was a desperate need

i thought the realistic remake was a new canonicity. I guess inherently it is.

I know those stories were always only tenuously canonical but I’ll be darned if I ever let go of them

piece by piece

stop getting so obsessed with fictional dudes like get real. start downloading millions of images of real men with families

vote the chicken book because it maybe fits the cursed book context more and definitely sounds interesting and more subjectively appealing!

Chicken, Chicken (R.L. Stine) "Everyone in Goshen Falls knows about weird Vanessa. She dresses all in black. Wears black lipstick. And puts spells on people. At least, that's what they say. Crystal and her brother, Cole, know you can't believe everything you hear. But that was before they made Vanessa mad. Before she whispered that strange warning, "Chicken chicken." Because now something really weird has happened. Crystal's lips have turned as hard as a bird's beak. And Cole has started growing ugly white feathers all over his body… "

-People turning into chickens! -Detailed descriptions of how grossly biological chickens are! -A cliffhanger where we think the narrator's mom is going to kill and eat her!"

Blimpo (Dale E. Basye) "After his second escape from Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, Milton Fauster makes his way to Blimpo—the circle of the otherworldly reform school, Heck, where he's sure his friend Virgil is sentenced. Virgil's only crime is being, well, plump. Milton has to wonder if that's really enough to justify eternal darnation. And what Milton finds in Blimpo horrifies him. The overweight dead kids spend most of their time running on giant human hamster wheels called DREADmills that detect and exploit their deepest fears. The rest they spend eating Hambone Hank's barbecue—mystery meat that is delicious, but suspiciously (to Milton, anyway) haunting . Every classroom has a huge TV screen showing happy thin people who taunt Blimpo residents with a perfection they will never attain.

Meanwhile, at her new job in the devil's Infernship program, Milton's sister, Marlo, knows all about trying to achieve perfection. And failing miserably. Can Milton get himself and Virgil out of Blimpo in time to rescue Marlo, too? Or is Fauster the next delicacy on Bea "Elsa" Bubb's menu?"

one year older!

I finally drew these things. So far, only the kids.

A woman went viral for being turned down for a next interview for a role, she asks the recruiter what she did wrong, the recruiter tells her they were “concerned about her lack of effort in her appearance.”

She explains she wore a freshly ironed blazer with a collared top. Her nails were painted a professional beige. She got a blowout for her hair, so a professional style. She had on subdued gold earrings.

The only thing she wasn’t wearing was makeup; she states she really doesn’t wear makeup, and only had chapstick on, as her skin is sensitive. Her lawyer mother has already explained she has no legal case against the company for any type of gender-based discrimination.

Just in case anyone wants to ask why feminists still refer to the “pink tax” or rail against more and more elaborate makeup trends being pushed on girls and women.

Women being punished socially for not wearing makeup is still a feminist issue.
