Rereading the Scholomance books and I am remembering how unwell I am about Orion and El. The romance between the unstoppable force and immovable object… between a black hole and the only thing that can destroy it. The romance of it all.

#And on top of all that #they are ALSO Orpheus and Eurdiyce and it kicks so much ass #or maybe Beren and Luthien instead seeing as El succeeds #the scholomance #carthago delenda est

It always baffles me when I see the trauma Olympics in SMG fandom. People are always talking about how some characters "Aren't traumatized" for maybe going through a tiny bit less than other characters and like???? huh??? Did we play the same game bc I can't think of any SMG protagonists who are gonna be "okay" after the events of their game.

I usually see this referring to Sam or Matt (UD) or Mark (TDIM) and sometimes Max or Nick (TQ) and I'm always so confused when people say they had it "Easy." Like damn I didn't realize encountering cannibalistic monsters and almost dying several times was easy. Certainly didn't realize being chased down for a whole night by a killer was easy. Turning into a werewolf against your will after getting mauled? Pfft anyone could shake that off. Like tf you on about????

#And on top of all that #There's always the possibility that they can lose someone close to them as well #Or hell #even be the sole survivor #But even without all that #They're SMG protagonists when are they ever “okay”#sam giddings #matt taylor #mark nestor #nick furcillo #max brinly #until dawn #the devil in me #the quarry

my favourite brand of misogyny (with sprinkled in lesbophobia) is when people HATE a character up until she becomes a possible romantic partner to a man. a women will have a complex back story with compelling intentions, but none of that matters until she stands within 10 feet of a man & can be shipped with him. bonus points if after the character becomes a vector of romance (that people can project themselves on to) she is reduced to a giggling virgin that mothers the man she gets shipped with and suddenly wants to settle down with a family.

#despite never once saying or indicating she wants any of that #and on top of all that #demonizing any lesbian that likes the character & thinks they could have a girl friend #fucking insane #text

Your fic "Tell Me to Run (Or Dare to Sit and Watch What We’ll Become)" is definitely one of my favorites, and I often reread it ❤️

Omg. This nearly put me in tears thank you soooooo much like seriously my gratefulness is beyond words! I promise I haven’t forgotten about that fic, it is still firmly lodged in my mind. But finals week is kicking my ass (like literally, my body is shutting down, I’m pretty sure I have covid again (what are the fucking odds..) (and my wisdom tooth is infected (tmi I know)). Anyways, again, thank you so much for the love, and after the next two weeks you can expect many chapters out of me, I promise :)

#like I said #tmi #but seriously thank you #so so so so much #my writing #ask #I’m sick as fuuuuck #I’ve had a fever since yesterday #and on top of all that #I have a wedding to be in on Saturday #😍#fml #sorry for oversharing

love it when my mom forces me to write thank you notes instead of just letting me send these people an email and be done with it

#she is literally refusing to tell me how to contact all of these relatives that sent me gifts EXCEPT FOR THEIR ADDRESS #i fucking hate thank you notes #and its not cos im ungrateful #id love to give my uncle richard or my cousin sherry a call or send them an email and tell them how much i appreciate their gifts #but having to physically write and send a card is so fucking tedious and ive had it up to here with my mom and her fucking 'politeness'#plus my binder that was supposed to come three days ago still isnt here #and my mom being anti vaxx may have prevented me from going on a trip to europe with my friends #that weve been planning and saving for for over six years #everything is falling apart right now and im at my breaking point #and on top of all that #my dad is still refusing to move out #its been two years since the divorce started and hes still here #eethenn.txt #vent post

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.

i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.

please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

#emily’s finally found housing after couch surfing at friends’ places for months #they’ve got a lot of debt rn on top of bills and rent #rn they don’t have food in the house and they’re starving #they don’t deserve this at all they are so kind and i literally hate to see them suffering #please please pleaaase donate and reblog #they don’t ask for much but they deserve the world #mutual aid #crowdfunding #donation post #belle speaks

gritty both capturing the zeitgeist as usual AND educating me on the availability of free flow butter at american cinemas

#i am intrigued………..#is it to spritz more butter on your popcorn????#does the popcorn come unbuttered?#or is it extra flavouring on top of that #is it at all cinemas? or just some??#is it just pure melted liquid butter???#anyway #i just watched oppenheimer but honestly all i can think of is that tiktok comment: ‘why einstein gotta be such a cutie patootie’#yes i’m drained but also….#albert einstein in his babygirl era #long post #gritty #barbie #barbenheimer #philadelphia flyers

Man just doesn't stop fucking MURDERING white men who've done very shitty things

Edit: Yes I'm aware that Hbomb wasn't really The Guy to take down Wakefield, and Wakefield was gotten by Deere, however it was for the meme

Edit two: When referring to Shapiro I was talking about the Aquaman clip

#hbomberguy #cassie rambles #he got bencil chaperone for being FUCKING STUPID #he got andrew wakefield for being LITERALLY THE FUCKING WORST #he got tommy tallarico for being a COMPLETE FUCKING FRAUD #and now he's gotten james somerton for being a massive fucking plagiarist #AND HE'S TOPPED THE VIDEO OFF THROUGH DONATING ALL THE MONEY TO THE ACTUAL CREATORS AND SHOUTING OUT QUEER CREATORS!!!!#GODDD HBOMB YOU. YOU GODDAMN.#BIG FUCKING SHOUTOUT

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

Look at this cool new t-shirt I made for fans of Abraham Lincoln! I made it on my own time, with my own resources, and without any affiliation to existing public or private institutions concerned with history, education, hospitality, culture or retail. You can find it at my new Threadless shop or directly at bit.ly/imissabe

#abraham lincoln #abe lincoln #i miss abe #other important disclaimers include that this is about the assassinated former president of the united states of america #and not about the assassinated former prime minister of japan #i figured the top hat would make that clear but as long as im covering my own ass i should make sure to bring that up too #anyway the art is all original #and the phrase is not trademarked #and it is available in a wide variety of sizes #and on a wide variety of products

you know what boils my blood.

over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."

i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.

but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.

today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.

the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.

so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.

#zee rambles #this isn't to guilt trip anyone #but im so so tired of people coming in and just refusing testing because they want to see grandma or whatever #and on top of that people are avoiding vaccinations and all that too??#we all lived through the pandemic - everyone saw how many people unfortunately passed away from it #now because of vaccinations and some amount of herd immunity we're finding milder cases in healthy people #but that doesn't mean its gone #that doesn't mean it doesn't have long-term repercussions even in healthy people and that doesn't mean people aren't still dying from it #honestly i just needed a lil rant #and if this helps at least one person??? im all for it #also i can't sleep so here we are spilling thoughts into the voidddd
