the best thing maggie stiefvater ever did was NOT having ronan dream a magical device that would "fix" adam's hearing. the best thing maggie ever did was adam knowing that he did not need or want to be "fixed". the best thing maggie ever did was ronan knowing that adam did not want or need to be fixed and accepting it without a second thought.

one thing i love about leverage is the fact that the characters generally seem to... communicate with each other? like they do have their secrets, of course, and we see these the reveal of these secrets playing out in different ways (damien-eliot, parker-archie, even sophie's real name to an extent) but for the most part there's no petty miscommunications. like yeah, the team bickers and they argue and they have their secrets but they actually do care about each other and communicate really fucking well! there's no jealousy or weirdness about parker being close with eliot from hardison, there's no nate hiding his alcoholism storyline. it's just... they talk to each other and the writers don't drag shit out for drama. and i think that's why the big bang job and the inside job work so well, because these characters know each other so well that it's jarring for these secrets to come to light.

something that makes me super emotional about cellbit and roier’s relationship in particular is just. how much it perfectly showcases the qsmp’s central theme of uniting communities and languages. because while yes, most of the time, they default to speaking in english when in groups of people, but when they’re alone, the two tend to just speak their native languages. roier solely speaks in spanish and cellbit solely speaks in portuguese. and they UNDERSTAND each other!! cellbit has said he prefers speaking in portuguese because he feels like he can be the most honest and true to himself because that’s what he wants to be with roier and despite not speaking each other’s language they can still BE that with each other and. augh. they’re everything to me

as a self-identified adrienette girlie....kinda miss them, ngl.

Remember when this was a thing that Laudna said? As recently as episode 68?

The Outside They Built

"Go outside" adults say But don't loiter at the mall Movie tickets cost 15 Popcorn costs twice that A concert, thrice (If you're lucky) No skating on the sidewalk Even if you could, it's broken Don't wander too far in the woods It's dangerous Dirty Arcades aren't enriching But if you really want it, pay up Park closes at 10 Beach closes at 7 "Why are you inside On your phone? Kids your age Never get out anymore."

I can't be the only person who finds it somewhat disappointing how strangely reluctant the HSBC team seems to be to utilize sprite mode

To all my fellow Navarre fans and Issachar fans and all in-between,

Thank you for being so open-minded of my crack ship IssaNava lmao

You know, I joke a lot about Ranma 1/2 cracking my egg, but I do want to say that it only really started the process and the numerous TGTF webcomics I read back in the day did a lot to continue it. The Wotch, El Goonish Shive, Abstract Gender, Misfile, Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki...I was obsessed with all of these as a young teen and just constantly fantasized about being turned into a girl...

Still took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize most guys don't fantasize about that.

i’m sorry but there’s just something about men with big noses, i don’t make the rules 🤷‍♀️

At a point where I think I need some black sisterhood in my life tbh 🤔
