Like, look at this man.

Are you telling me he does not deserve to be gently but firmly seized by the lapels of that red dressing gown and have the sorrow fucked out of him by a burly but tender Maori rugby coach?

is it really too much to ask for me to be able to stick davy cadwallader in an empty pringles tube and shake him around like a homemade maraca and affectionately exclaim "haha. look at 'im go!" meanwhile he's just getting violently concussed

I got thru Easter without seeing any dumb ass eostre/ishtar shit and now it is on my dash by virtue of someone trying to combat misinfo... which is... *thru gritted teeth* good.

Making a new post because I don’t want to complain on someone else’s.

When people say things like “shakespeare is just fanfiction” or “cinderella (2015) is fanfiction” or “the divine comedy is fanfiction,” it’s generally not meant to be taken literally. Yes, there is a legal and functional different between a licensed adaptation, a story based on folklore, and a story written on AO3. Most fic writers who say stuff like this aren’t simultaneous shopping their coffeeshop AU around Hollywood for a three-movie picture deal.

What they mean is that, from a writing prospective, it requires the same skills. If you can write a novel-length story about two pre-established characters falling in love, then you might have what it takes to do a modern Romeo and Juliet adaptation. If you wrote a space AU of Lord of the Rings, then you translate one story into a completely new universe, come up with similar or adapted plot devices, and make a work of original fiction. 

Obviously My Immortal and The Divine Comedy aren’t the same thing. It’s a way of encouraging writers to try something new by making lofty classics seem more accessible. Stop taking everything so literally.

a sketch of them kissing because if riot doesn't make it happen, i will

just a little ranty rant

i'm sick to death of seeing people complaining about wanting achievements, but thinking it's unfair that they have to replay to earn them or thinking they should be able to just "check off what they've already done" and get the achievement that way.

y'all! think! this feature literally exists to SELL TEACUPS. romance club is a business that needs to MAKE MONEY. it makes NO sense from a business perspective to just give people achievements without requiring replaying the story. what on earth would the advantage for them be if that was how it worked?

it's not just like the romance club devs just sat down and were like "hey, you know what would be fun to spend a ton of time and resources on? creating a whole new panel of the profile feature, going back into the code of all of our stories, doing a ton of QA and testing, and designing 100+ icons! our users will be so happy to have pretty icons on their profiles, and that's enough for us!"

no, they sat down and were like "it's going to make us a LOT of money if users have to replay everything multiple times to get these achievements."

romance club has a great social media game and they do a fantastic job of listening to the community + appearing generous (see also: diamond rushes. these are NOT done because RC is "generous"--it's all about selling teacups). however, at the end of the day, they are a business that exists to make money. the achievements feature was created to make money, not give you cute little icons on your profile because you played Heaven's Secret one time three years ago.

I really wish I didn't get so sick feeling when people drag Sanji.

I get viscerally upset and a little nauseous when people say Sanji's a creep for being excited about marrying Pudding because she's 16. Her being 16 is a little factoid he didn't even know because it wasn't important enough for either family to care to tell him. They told him her name and that he was getting married, that. was. it! Fuck, they didn't even tell him her name, he had to read it for himself on his own fuckin' wedding invitation! Also, Pudding's severe emotional abuse from her mother has bumped up her maturity and physical stress levels enough that she could easily be mistaken for 18.

Anyway, I'm stuck here seething because I'm like "DID WE READ THE SAME ARC?!"

He called her picture cute once and then still immediately said he didn't want to marry her! Which, she is cute, so I don't see a problem there.

Sanji doesn't actually want to actively be with Pudding until he had a complete mind break after several days of constant physical and mental abuse in the Germa castle and is then moved to the Charlotte palace. And even at this point, there's like a several page scene of Sanji basically telling himself to "fall in love" with Pudding in order to survive.

He literally had to brainwash himself to want Pudding in order to survive.

This brainwashing then sticks until after he sees her eye. After that, the switch just flips off.

From that point forward, he's completely normal around her for the entire several long chapters he's with her after the crashed wedding: no heart eyes, no nose bleeds, no noodle dances, doesn't ask for hugs, is able to give her normal platonic praise for her baking skills, and he's even completely unphased when she kisses him before he leaves! The only time he even gets blushy cheeks is when he imagines people eating his cake and loving it.

Yeah, totally the actions of a man creeping on his arranged bride to be...

what type of op sibling issues do you have?

the: "depressed older sibling who still manages to look after the younger one despite thinking of themselves as unlovable and is thankful for their sibling's love because they were each other's only support for a long time / younger sibling that feels guilty for all the burden the other had to carry and blames themselves for everything and ended up being too mature at a young age" ace and luffy type?

or the: "caring but emotionless distant older sibling under an abusive household that did what they could do to protect the younger one but it was never enough out of fear of being targeted too / younger sibling that holds grudges against family and understands that the other tried their best but it was never enough and chose to only save them whenever it was safe for them and wants to run away from the family line" reiju and sanji type?

britechester’s newest cuties

rammstein in bucharest 2013

yea see i maintain cas had no real interest in meg, he just wanted to know what kissing was like (he deserves to be smooched) and when meg kissed him to steal his angel blade cas just took the opportunity and went all in. and like this line to me isn't cas being unaware and not "getting it" bc cas literally just spent the ep getting his pizza man crash course into sex. cas is genuinely like, why would i want that? bc he's not interested in her that way.

and immediately after this exchange he says he'd rather be "here" with dean (and sam i guess lol). so, as far as how cas would like to spend his time he doesn't want "an hour with meg"(for sexy times) but would rather spend him time on earth hanging out with dean. cute<3
