May I direct everyone's attention to these scenes in The Waverly Ring Affair for a second? Napoleon and Illya try to get into contact with Waverly but have trouble reaching his plane due to interference from the aurora borealis. They pull an allnighter, as the next time we see them, they're still in the office and it's daylight. Also, Napoleon's shirt is suspiciously rumpled 👀

And I think that's what's called a fanfiction gap.

Mac acting like a teenage girl about his relationship with Johnny is all fun and giggles, but can we talk about how him saying the word "love"/"lover" triggers something in Dennis' brain that makes him correct it.

In 12×10 (Dennis' Double Life) Mac calls himself Brian's lover and Dennis corrects him by saying that he is his partner.

In 16×4 (Frank vs Russia) Mac says he is in love with Johnny and Dennis responds by empathizing that Johnny "doesn't even like him".

Fake dating. you bring a high elf home to your parents so they stop trying to set you up with people.

But the high elf likes it too much and makes up some fey rule that technically their soul is now connected to yours and they can't date other people so you have to take responsibility and marry them <3

my life may be absolutely crumbling down but you guys will not believe how good the ice cream i had yesterday was. ice cream is always enough to fix all of life's problems

How did Voldemort know that Lily and James were pregnant or that they gave birth to a baby in late July? I don't imagine that he's keeping up on all the gossip about the Order members. Far more likely is that he knew because his Death Eaters were talking about it. Like perhaps one particular Death Eater was mad that the woman he was obsessed with married his moral enemy and had a baby? Perhaps he complained about it enough that even the Dark Lord knew about the woman he loved and the man and child who took her away.

When he heard about the prophecy of the baby born in July who would defeat him, he didn't have to go looking for babies who fit the prophecy. "Say, Severus, didn't you say that brat was born in July? Interesting.... No, of course, I'll spare the mother if I can. I just want the child..."

You guys think there's a music festival somewhere in the Marquesian Desert started by a gnomish bard that gets famous for fire spinning, insane costumes and Spice?

One of the scariest warnings Jesus ever gave was about people who will be self-deceived. They will think they are following Christ and many of them will even be doing miracles in his name, but they will not be allowed entrance to heaven. At the end of their earthly lives, Jesus will reveal to them that he never knew them.

Tumblr skews young, so let me just share this.

The worst thing you can do in a job is not be bad at something. It's to say you are great at something while being bad at something. If you need to improve and you're upfront that you're not the best, people will probably help or teach or explain. They will sympathize when you get put on a task you're not qualified for.

If you claim to be awesome at something when you demonstrably suck at it, all of that good will and sympathy is gone and it will not come back.

Confident is good. Stand up for yourself, know your skills.

But the other side of this is to Know your Faults.

This message brought to you by the 23yo who bragged about how he was great at X and had the best program for it, and I spent the weekend doing his job for him because he is so so bad at it, and only about 5% of what he did is salvageable.

There are so many Dick, Bruce, or Tim kills the Joker fics on AO3, meanwhile Barbara was the one talking about how The Joker should be the exception to the No Kill Rule years before Red Hood Jason even existed.

worst way to start my new year, thanks. i have a lot of things to say about these companies but i'm tired and just keeping it focused to the pin side of things for this one. do not ever buy pins from these companies, literally ALL of them are stolen from small artists like me. if you want to buy enamel pins, check out etsy, and artist's personal websites and shops! (though even Etsy has some bootleg pins that ship straight from china, so tread carefully…)

Every pin I've designed is, thus far, EXCLUSIVE to my etsy. if you find it anywhere else, it's been ripped off! and once these stupid bootlegs pop up, it's basically a never ending game of whack-a-mole trying to get them all taken down...

Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.

"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."

translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"

It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!

very this

The AO3 search/filtering system has just ruined me for every other search function ever. I genuinely go onto websites, click 'advanced search' and then look at what paltry options they've given me in utter horror. How does anyone find anything? How do people survive?

I can rewrite the story.
