When BoJack Horseman (2014-2020) said "you can't keep doing shitty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it ok. you need to be better" and "all we have are the connections we make" and "I really should've thought about the view from halfway down" and "sometimes you have to take responsibility for your own happiness" and "you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, you turn yourself around, THAT'S what it's all about" and "things have to get worse before they can get better" and "in real life, the big gesture isn't enough, you need to be consistent" and "if we hadn't met each other until now, we wouldn't be the people we are now" and, my personal favourite, "every day it gets a little easier, but you gotta do it every day, that's the hard part, but it does get easier".
2014: oh wow! some social media platforms have started "verifying" prominent users with a little symbol next to their names! this is a great way to separate them from all the copycat accounts, what a neat idea
Nah but let’s talk abt how ppl use disability terms/harmful stereotypes/ derogatory words so casually this disabled pride month (tw ableism below)
The new terms are “sch*zoposting” and “delulu” but shit like this has been around for years and it’s so incredibly frustrating.
Another example is those TikTok POVS about “the weird kid in class” but they are all stereotypes of autistic ppl.
Or the misuse of the word triggered, the misuse of the word OCD, the misuse of gaslighting, of cr*pple, “are you deaf?” “Are you blind?” “Hellen Keller isn’t real.” I could go on and on but I will simply say this.
Disabled people are real people with feelings, emotions and lives. We deserve to use the terms that we need to COMFORTABLY. We deserve to exist without people taking the language used in the context of ourselves and putting it in a negative light.
AU where Morgause and Cenred kidnap Hunith instead of Elyan in S3, knowing Arthur will do anything for Merlin
They don’t understand why this small village woman seems so calm, even amused by the situation. Does she not realise what danger she is in? Her son?
But then Merlin “I love my mum” No-Last-Name A.K.A. The Most Powerful Sorcerer Ever to Walk the Earth single handedly breaks down the castle walls and takes down their guards instantly because how dare they take his mum
Zedaph and Etho have collaborated to make a Minecraft version of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, which makes liberal use of cannon blasts as percussion. Etho's contribution is the noteblock timing; Zedaph's contribution is the creeper explosions that replace the cannon blasts.
Zedaph: are you ready to go, Etho?
Etho: on your count.
Zedaph: okay—3, 2, 1—go!
Etho: here we go!
Zedaph: drum roll...
[the noteblocks begin playing]
[the first creeper blast goes off]
Zedaph: (whispering) yesss!
Etho: (laughs)
[creeper blast]
Zedaph: yes!!
Etho: (laughs) it's going!
[three creeper blasts]
Zedaph: yes!!!
[creeper blast]
Zedaph: (laughs)
Etho: oh, it's so good.
[creeper blast]
Zedaph: oh yeah, the silence—build up—
Etho: build up.
[nine creeper blasts]
Zedaph: okay—coming to the end!
Etho (overlapping): here it is! grand finale!
[six creeper blasts]
[charged creeper explodes, killing both of them]
Zedaph: yeah—hahahaha!!
Zedaph: oh my god! (laughs)
Etho (overlapping): (laughing) that's perfect, man, that was perfect. flawless.
Zedaph: what an instrument, what a beautif—Etho—
Etho (overlapping): ohhh my goodness—
Zedaph: big round of applause for your wonderful noteblocks there, that was—
Etho: and—and to you with your percussions! amazing.
