what do you MEAN “the very touch of you corrupts” is from supernatural???

every romantic pairing in bnha is like… you’re my hero. I’m your hero too, and I didn’t know it. don’t leave me, please don’t leave me, let’s be heroes together.

Get yourself someone who'd look in awe at you despite looking like a feral gremlin ✨

i am absolutely fucking deranged about how crowley so clearly replaced the word “couple” with “a group of the two of us” then followed it up with “and we’ve spent our existence pretending that we aren’t.” how you can see azi understands perfectly welll what he means and gets this panicky look in his eyes for it . they spent their existence pretending they weren’t a couple. i need a lie down

I thought that last comment you got about Ned enabling Robert was really interesting and well-put! I was wondering, do you think after basically painting himself into a corner allowing Roberts behavior for years did Ned have any “good” options to deal with the information that Joffrey was illegitimate? Or like do you think because the “royal bloodline” thing is bullshit anyway Ned would’ve done better to just never tell anybody (since he’s clearly willing to take that kind of secret to the grave anyway)

as the only other person in the whole realm who is hiding a succession-disrupting bastard from robert I really think Ned is kind of talking to himself in a way during his conversation with cersei. it’s why he gets so frustrated at her for not having been a better wife to Robert, because NED was a pretty good wife to Robert, and yet neither of them can stop him from killing their children if he finds out the truth. There’s this direct parallel between being the hands of the king and dealing with an abusive monarch and being the queen and dealing with an abusive husband that I think is pretty interesting to explore.

Ned knows that Robert will just kill Cersei’s kids if he finds out the truth, because Ned knows he would not hesitate to kill Jon. Obviously, he would counsel against it, but Robert would do it, and Ned would disassociate and then go home. He’s trained himself to be a very passive figure in Roberts life while Robert just destroys everything around him so not think there’s anything he can do to stop that act of violence. in his head, he is doing the absolute most that he can by warning her to run. There is no situation in which Ned takes this to his grave. he is too loyal to robert and too society-brained. he copes with the Robert situation by blaming Cersei for Robert’s behavior.

ultimately, I think the commonality between Cersei and Joffrey, and Ned and Jon makes Ned sympathize with Cersei a bit but he’s never empathizing with her at any point. he would sell her out if Robert had lived.

THE man:

so... do we finally realize that the metraton chose aziraphale for his plan maybe, in part, because he literally declared war with hell??? by throwing his halo??? which makes him "a leader"

............OH.

tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake & dress them in warm clothes again how it was late & no one could sleep the horses running until they forget that they are horses its not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere its more like a song on a policemans radio how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance & the days were bright red & every time we kissed there was another apple to slice into pieces look at the light through the windowpane that means its noon that means we're inconsolable TELL ME HOW ALL THIS & LOVE TOO WILL RUIN US THESE OUR BODIES POSSESSED BY LIGHT TELL ME WE'LL NEVER GET USED TO IT. BTW. IF YOU EVEN CARE

been a long time since i’ve seen a holy visions gerard pic. but

So, about 5 days back YouGov released poll results for a very comprehensive public opinion poll they did for the US, which you can see here: https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econTabReport_tT4jyzG.pdf The poll itself asks about a lot of different topics, but the section I wanna focus on here is the section between pages 96 to 112, which focuses on Antisemitism and Israel. Most polls with questions like these tended to only survey around 100~200 people, and had really depressing results, so I was really hoping going into this study that we'd see some more cheerful statistics. Maybe those small sample sizes caused some bias, I dunno. Maybe the numbers were off.

I kept being disappointed by how many people denied the holocaust in those studies. I didn't want to believe those numbers were real, quite frankly.

Well.

Of a poll of 1500 people, give or take, 7% say the holocaust is a myth, with another 16% saying they "don't know" whether it is or isn't, with people in the 18-29 age group having even more alarming numbers than that: 20% think the holocaust is a myth, and 30% that they don't know. Conversely, in the 65+ age group, not a single responder denies the holocaust.

If you take this poll as being representative, then out of 331.9 million people living in the US, that gives us about 23.2 million people (rounded down) in the US alone who think the holocaust did not happen.

For reference, there are only 16.2 million jews in the entire world, with 7.1~ million of them in Israel.

Turns out the numbers I saw previously were representative.

Fuck, dude.

Fuck. Shit. FUCK. I’M SO PROUD OF CALEB. He walked into that room after Essek feeling FOOLISH and BETRAYED. He used the word “friend” like a fucking WEAPON! And he was trained in this shit! In the wordplay and the interrogation and the shutting out of emotion!

And then!! Then!!! He fucking listened to Essek! And heard the words he was saying!! And saw the true regret and loss and confusion in his eyes!!!! And of course he knew how Essek was feeling, of course he did, but what’s important is that he put the Voltstruker away, and the part of himself that he found with The Mighty Nein was the part that responded. And Caleb looked him in the face and told him that there was hope for him, because Caleb has had it beaten into him by his family that there is hope for him.

WHAT THE FUCK no one does found family and long-term healing like dnd parties
