Tyre Nichol’s mother has set up a memorial fund to help pay for mental health services for his family and a memorial skate park in his name. If you cannot donate, please share.

sss day my favorite national holiday WOOOOHHHH

bonus

Yeah it’s cool and all that Lyanna Mormont and Wylla Manderly are such vocal Stark loyalists. But it’s actually quite important that they share names with two of the most important women in Jon Snow’s life: Lyanna Stark - his mother, and Wylla - his wetnurse and rumored mother in universe. Such stunning loyalty from these two girls who are named after women so important to Jon just tickles all the key parts of my brain. These are the women who gave him life. And it’s even more poignant when we realize that by ADWD, when the girls are declaring their loyalty, Jon is the KiTN who bears the name STARK per Robb’s decree.

I think it's really funny when people say I'm converting them either to "korkie is a kenobi" or "korkie is not a kenobi" truthers. You don’t need to be a truther if you don’t want to. Join me in the middle with Schrodinger's Kenobi, where Korkie both is and is not a Kenobi until I figure out which option makes the plot funnier.

WILLOW | 1.06 “Prisoners of Skellin”

thinking abt what you said with house viewing Benny as a son and I’m obsessed. Like. The man spent most of his life before the war presumably alone, and then after the bombs fell he was alone again, save for AI he himself devised. Then he decides to pull in some Tribes, and one kid shows promise! So sure, treat him well, train him, groom him to be his protege, then next thing you know UH OH he’s got developing paternal feelings towards this guy. Wanting some semblance of a family when the time has long since passed, yet fostering that feeling all the same seems so accurate for him. Benny meanwhile only views him as a boss, and not a particularly good one at that. makes me wonder how House must’ve felt when he found out about Bennys plans

I view it as House blames only himself for this, cause he kind of does in canon (strap in this is a long one).

When reflecting on the issue of Benny, House chastises himself first and foremost for not acting quickly enough when it comes to priming Benny. He describes Benny as being ambitious, ruthless and capable; compliments coming from a man like House. House has an ego and while he is logical enough to understand there was never any evidence Benny saw him as a father-figure, he lacks the humility to admit he let his own views on his relationship with Benny blind him to the activities happening behind the scenes.

I doubt that House was as aware as he makes out about what Benny was doing, he knew early on but certainly not early enough to stop Benny from hacking and obtaining a securitron along with getting the chip in the first place. I take it he was distracted by all the possibilities he was calculating of Vegas' success and growth with him steering and Benny as the new figure head, not because of any normal affection for Benny but the admiration of his capabilities. It's to be noted that House believed menial incentives (likely caps, booze, basic needs, etc..) were enough to keep Benny tame like the other Chairmen but, as evidenced by the Omertas and Mortimer in the WGS, this is not enough when it comes to more driven Vegas citizens. This implies he still undervalued Benny and created a space in which Benny felt the need to rebel.

House in my eyes is not sentimental in the traditional sense. I can imagine his pride was severely scorned as someone he certainly deemed dumber than him was, albeit only for a little, able to out-gambit him. It would definitely hit home seeing how his brother also betrayed him but I feel like that's why he's so apathetic when he tells the Courier to do as they see fit with Benny. I doubt the way he terrorized his brother brought him any emotional satisfaction other than a "Now who's in charge!" ego boost. Putting that same emotional intensity towards Benny isn't worth it because who does it benefit? Wasted time, wasted planning, and most importantly wasted potential are all he gets from continuing to be hands-on with Benny. I say the closest example is not being able to throw out old toys due to the memories attached but knowing it's necessary as they are broken or just taking up space for new ones, and then asking someone else to do it so you don't need to get caught up in the feelings of throwing something you put so much effort into. It's not Benny House cares about in my mind, not in a way that sounds healthy to any non-emotionally constipated individual, but what he could've represented for him, which is why he so quickly offers the same position to the Courier.

As for Benny's view on all of this, it was a long time coming. Benny didn't and doesn't believe House is a completely shitty boss. He admires what he's been shown and admits House knows how to run the strip, but disagrees with the directions. Ideologically, House is an anarcho-capitalist while Benny is just an anarchist. House wants to run the strip to profit, though money is not what he's concerned with being rich with anymore. Benny wants a free state that he wishes to become a place for the people, except for the Chairmen who would be on top (I like to remind people that Benny's motives were selfish but not for personal gain/power as was it for the people he actually saw as family). Benny was never looking for a father but a future. He was not interested in being adopted, or having the chairmen adopted, as bigger names still overshadowed in House's legacy.

Truly, it's easiest to summarize as House feeling strongly and thinking positively enough of Benny to start incorporating him into the future of Vegas (a huge honor actually) while Benny was so disillusioned by House's ego and indifference that he thought the only way Vegas could be the future is with House gone.

I'm teasing Adrien for his simping on Marinette but no one must ever forget his legendary simping on Ladybug. She yells at him once, one sentence, and he instantly wants to suicide himself. He's depressed for days. His life is over. Poor little cat simp.

Amanda Grayson with her Hubby and Stepson

Who knew Eddie's dream sequence in 5x14 of Christopher, present yet distant, would be foreshadowing for the arc they're going to go through in Season 6

Love that Wilkie Collins apparently kept getting letters from guys who were convinced that Marian Halcombe must have been based on a real woman, begging him to introduce them because they were desperate to marry her

diluc standing directly in front of the fucking vase is killing me

The Blackfish narrowed his eyes. "Did your father arrange for that as well? Catelyn never trusted the boy, as I recall, no more than she ever trusted Theon Greyjoy. It would seem she was right about them both.”

The way book readers look at this quote and because we love Jon and want everyone to love him too, we come up with all these convoluted theories about how the Blackfish is secretly trying to protect Jon from the Lannisters and hide that he’s the KiTN so he can go and fight for Jon’s cause…..but ignore the most obvious explanation that the man has chosen to believe the words of HIS NIECE, whom he trusts and who has a very negative view of the boy, at face value. Like he doesn’t know Jon personally. At all. This isn’t evidence of a conspiracy to crown Jon king. This is merely showing us that even smart and extremely capable people like the Blackfish can be wrong about things and people. It’s really that simple 🙂

Hwa Ran's husband just hit her and she hit him right back. screenwriter-nim ik this is her lowest point in the series so far emotionally and mentally but thank you for letting me have that it is much appreciated

i love the idea that jotaro has a less noticeable japanese accent when speaking english than kakyoin does & it drives kakyoin insane that his english will never sound nearly as perfect no matter how good at speaking it he actually is

all this hate towards plastic surgery is really vindicating me for the time my shithead plastic surgeon uncle saw my 15 year old cousin walk out onto the beach in a bikini and started rattling off a list of procedures she needed to get done in the next ten years. to her face. then he ate my leftover cheesecake even tho it was labeled with my name. like what the fuck is wrong with you. die.

Okay this is sort of a crack idea but what if traveller ik went to devildom before , like when the demon king was still around, made friends with him, and then left to travel other worlds. And while she was away the demon king fell asleep and left dia in charge.

And diavolo was still like a baby when she was there, so ik got to baby sit him for fun, and has a lot of cute baby stories of him that will totally embarrass him.

So when they summon ik to devildom, she stares at him for a few seconds and its like a light bulb goes off in her head.

Ik : Diavolo, is that you???

Dia, confused : Uhm, yes? But, I’m afraid we’ve never met before.

Ik : Oh, don’t worry, I wouldn’t expect you too, you we’re only a couple centuries old when I left. Good gracious, you’ve grown up quite a lot.

Dia, even more confused : What????

Obviously lucifer steps in and demands an explanation. Once ik explains, it takes Diavolo a few seconds before going ”oh sh*t, you’re the one my father often mentions about!”

Just a bunch of crack and shenanigans here. Imagine if Mephisto finds out-

THAT’S AMAZING HAHA

it’d probably have to be in like, an au where the king is a different sort of guy, since otherwise traveller ik probably wouldn’t have befriended him. the last time ik saw diavolo, he was fresh from the nursery layer and about a head shorter than her.... now he’s practically twice her height and has to crouch down to speak to her at eye-level

traveller ik keeps addressing him like she did back when she knew him the first time, and while diavolo himself doesn’t mind since it’s not patronising, it’s incredibly jarring for everyone else involved because stop calling the prince ‘little fellow’ it’s so weird

ik comes to a student council meeting with a bag of cool rocks for diavolo and

diavolo: “well i’m flattered, but what is this for?”

ik: “oh, you loved these when you were little! i brought some back for you whenever i went out. every time i came back the next day your father told me you liked them so much you ate them.”

diavolo: “oh”
