Thinking about the newer bats (Duke, Cass, Steph, Tim) speculating on Jason's age because he looks like a recently divorced 30 y/o but he's younger than Dick, and he acts like a 50 year old man (he still has a Nokia, out of the loop on Internet and pop culture, primarily listens to dad rock), and after they've exhausted all their guesses Dick breezes in, informs them he's like 24, and then leaves.

The bats then have to come to terms with the fact that Jason NINETEEN when he took over the criminal underground.

So hey, in case anyone on Jumblr organizes “pluralistic” Jewish programming that is meant to be inclusive of Jews from any movements… please remember that being inclusive means making activities accessible to those who are halachically observant?

Because it is so frustrating and painful, as someone who believes in the value of pluralism and wants to connect with Jews both like and unlike me, to be repeatedly slapped in the face with the realization that 90% of the time I cannot participate in most non-Orthodox-specific Jewish communal opportunities because of my Judaism.

The food isn’t kosher, the bonfire is in the middle of Shabbat, the party conflicts with Megillah reading, Havdalah is hours before sunset…

And though I doubt it’s usually coming from a place of deliberate exclusion, the message it sends regardless of intent is You are not wanted.

"It's powerful, it's visceral, it's dark, it's like a Shakespearean tragedy. There’s no Arya — a character everybody's going to love. They're all flawed. They're all human. They do good things. They do bad things. They're driven by lust for power, jealousy, old wounds — just like human beings. Just like I wrote them."

Seeing people debate which grey characters can still be considered "morally good" and somehow Arya never makes the list, so it's the perfect time to bring back this quote from George which shows exactly how he views her character 🫶🏾

Someone asked me, could Pilitchik get Fiend’s werewolf virus? And the answer is no, a tree cannot get a mammal disease.

But when have I ever resisted a werewolf AU.

ever after Guy

babe wake up a good omens sequel just dropped

I didn't like the banner for my Black Knight fanfic so I drew a new one. As you do xD

And yes, there is A LOT of symbolism in the composition that connects back to the themes and plot of the fic. Because I'm Deep Like That.

Enjoy! :D

Every other white girl profile on Bumble For Friends:

"Im really spontaneous, looking for adventure, im really down for anything!"

Me: when they say they're down for 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 does that include a physically disabled wheelchair user that wants people to do witchcraft and ghost hunt with her?

Or do they mean adventurous as spontaneous frat parties..

My brain is on fire and it is just thinking about the stupidest things. Like why do the deer need to eat the grass close to the highway? There’s nothing special there. They could find grass somewhere safer. Maybe something better like an apple tree. Is it like a deer memento mori, eating by metal death machines flying by you? I just refuse to believe they can’t find grass in the other direction. Also - Tylenol has a very nice aesthetic. I always considered myself an Advil person. Ibuprofen whatever. Acetaminophen is for suckers. But I gotta say, all the Tylenol pills are the same shape and they’re very vibrant colours. The normal extra strength ones are a nice shade of red. And the cold and flu are pretty teal green. And when I spilled them everywhere I couldn’t help but think hmm raindrop coded pills.

reading another paper on environmental diet impact bc I'm sure someone's going to bring it up someday and I intend to be the one person in that convo who has actually read it. However.

I cant even decide if it's worth continuing. Am I really about to read a fucking research paper during non-working hours just to find out that vegan diets are being declared less environmentally impactful due to sustained mild starvation.

severus pushes draco’s buttons to get him to tell him of his secret mission for voldemort so he can assist. draco pushes snape back…literally…to get him to stop.

no one can help him. and if he has to resort to muggle brawling with his own godfather to assure him of legging it alone, then he will.

trying to find a good habit tracker game. preferably like a virtual pet or something. the art style has to be nice enough for me to give a shit about the game. any recs?

Spoiler question but do you think you know who from this week's quest will become a you know what?

Will Amanda become a Guardian, I assume!

I don't think so. I don't think it would serve any purpose. Her story came to an end; we learned all we needed to learn about her and she went out the way she lived and for what she believed in. There's also nothing really pointing to her being that relevant to bring back. Like, purely from a technical standpoint; they removed her as a vendor and gave her a send-off, complete with her entire backstory. Making her a Guardian would just be making a new character with her model, but new. I can't see them doing that.

One thing that I also feel like people are forgetting, somehow, is that if she becomes a Guardian, she will not be Amanda. Like, that will be a new character. Nothing she's done before will matter. Crow and Savathun were exceptions central to the story to go forward so they had exceptional stories where they got their memories back. Amanda simply is not. She died and even if she becomes a Guardian, there's no more Amanda. It would be a blank slate. No matter what, all of her conflicts and relationships are over.

I just don't think we need a blank slate New Light Guardian right now or that Bungie would keep her in the game like this currently. I think this season was centered on wrapping up stuff about her, giving her a full scope of the backstory and basically letting us say goodbye. It does not read like a setup for a new Guardian.

Obviously, Bungie could have something extraordinary planned out that we can't possibly guess and that would make Amanda returning as a Guardian really compelling. Who knows! Maybe this is something that will happen down the line. As in, after this saga ends and some new story in the setting begins!

But right now? Until the saga ends? I just do not think Amanda as a Guardian is a storyline that needs to be told while we're scrambling to wrap up loose ends before The Final Shape. She was a human face to the war and a victim of it, something to remind us about our mortality and the fact that we're not invincible. Despite Guardians and all our powers, we are fighting for people who are mortal and fragile and those people also have the right to defend their home. Amanda took that very seriously and helped a lot of people, but ultimately at the cost of her own life.

Bringing her back could offer some potential stories, absolutely, depending on how you want to take things in the future. But overall, I just think it's not likely for her to be planned to return as a Guardian, at least not within the scope of the current story. Of course we can't really know what's in store, but from what we do know (lore-wise and meta-wise), the likelihood of this happening is very low.

no because why did i spend 3 hours making a promo only for tumblr to straight up not show my post on the dash at all :(

Not done with bg3 so maybe my opinion will change but right now I think that while bg3 is a great game and has so much to offer in terms of character and story, I also just... vibe with the world of Dragon Age more. Like bg3 is by far the more fun game to play and it has meaningful themes about cycles of abuse and realizations of self-worth. But dragon age. I don't know. It feels more concise about what it wants to say. Bg3 throws everything and the kitchen sink at you which means some things get lost in translation or are so obvious that it beats you over the head with it. But dragon age is, for the most part, about religious authority and oppressive systems stemming from that authority, and it's entire world and story and cast of characters are built from that one premise to explore dozens of different perspectives on the same theme, and I feel like I can connect with that approach to worldbuilding so much more
