Still waiting on a heterosexual explanation for this one

the whole story behind steve and nancy getting back together is for nancy to work on her trauma when it comes to barb, including steve, to realize and come to terms with the fact that it was neither of their faults, because when it comes down to it that is the crux of everything. vecna feeds on guilt and trauma, yes music helps bring them out of the curse when it becomes an emergency but if max, nancy, fred, and even jason's friend, were able to work through their trauma vecna wouldn't even care to go after them to begin with. we see it with max too. she is severely depressed, she passes everything off as "i'm fine", she doesn't tell anyone what's really going on, not even the school therapist. but it's her finally breaking through, finally realizing that she's not at fault for what happened to billy, that wanting harm to come to billy because of all the harm he brought her wasn't some self fulfulled prophecy, that she does have people, family and friends who love her and want her in their lives that is what the music triggers in the first place. that is what nancy has to work on with steve, which she can't do if she's with jonathan. he was her escape, he was her running from the compicated guilt and trauma and pain that came from continuing to be with steve, but she has to face it at some point.

if one more person tells me I'm mature for my age I'm killing myself and then I'll be dead for my age instead

My laptop charger finally died 🤘😔 but the new one should be coming in tomorrow!

So I wasn't able to finish my next request today I'm sorry! I've been really excited about this one for a while now, I know I say that about all of them! But like always, please look forward to it!

Oh real quick. Do me a favor? Go drink some water and do some stretches. If you have medication and need to take them, do that too! I love you!!

you just know this was bought on a shopping trip with missy because she insisted scully would look cute in it, but it lived at the back of her closet until this moment.

like, I just wanna take a minute to say how happy Sansok Khan’s existence makes me. 

There has been a notable uptick in deaf characters in media, but so much of the time it’s still weird, like making them evil for no reason or they’re uwu helpless babies in the zombie apocalypse because apparently being deaf means you can’t see some fucker running at you and know you should run away. 

But Sansok Khan is deaf and she still rose to power among her people. She’s treated with respect. She’s never helpless and pitiful. She’s different, but accepted.

I love that.

I don't think I've seen anybody talk about how absolutely insane The Boiling Rock is from Hakoda's perspective.

Imagine getting captured, and your son tells you that you won't be apart for too long. That's sweet, but obviously your son has no resources to spare for organizing a breakout. You hope that the Avatar can defeat the Fire Lord soon - that's the earliest time you could hope to be rescued.

You get put into a temporary holding facility until the guards can sort out who is who. After a while, they put you on a prisoner transport to the Boiling Rock. Your captors try to intimidate you by telling you that it's the highest security prison in the Fire Nation, probably the whole world. It's far away from the capital.

You arrive at the Boiling Rock. It really is in the middle of a boiling lake. There's only one way in or out, and it's a gondola that takes you above the boiling lake. You meet the warden. They take you to your cell. You settle down to wait for the end of the war.

And 15 minutes later Sokka comes in like "hey dad I'm here I got the prince of the Fire Nation and an Earth Kingdom ninja leader gf ok let's go I'm busting you out"

oh that same old familiar tune, where have i heard it before?

oh, right with you.

this took me a little while to complete- the uncompressed file size ended up being 101mb. . . beeeg file,

world war 3 jokes on twitter meanwhile none of them live in the region and none of them understand the severity of the situation. these next few hours will really determine whether or not we head into a regional war…

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

Just fyi the sonic subreddit has been having a very... fun past couple days

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED Lucy is the only person Gru didn't consider leaving cuz in DM1 he left the girls and in DM3 he left Dru but in DM2 he didn't leave Lucy, he could've quit the job anytime if he disliked her that much but they clicked so fast he didn't go through that phase where he doesn't want to grow attached to someone cuz he already grew attached and that's why he was so heartbroken when she left. OH MY GOD! She found a way to his heart faster than anyone else. She really is the best.

Eternal Flame Falls sounds like the coolest concept for a fantasy book. A path you follow down into a ravine until you find an ever-burning flame inside of a waterfall? That’s fuckin metal! But it’s not in a fantasy book it’s like an hour away from my house I can literally go see it any time! I remember it like once a month and lose my shit over it every time

I watched Starship Troopers tonight.
