there's something so compelling about stories where a character's virtues intensify into flaws that lead to their downfall. loyalty and love becoming so all-consuming that compassion outside of them ceases to exist. duty overwhelming any moral compass until order becomes more important than justice. selflessness so intense it becomes self-destruction. let me watch while whatever saved the hero in the beginning destroys them. let me see them fall to their own worst impulses disguised as what once made them good.

Thank u comrade tyranitar

Thank you for transcribing the image! I always forget to do that.

It is just a year tonight since I shared this... may we reach the anniversary of this night many times.

I diagnose you with Chicago

You know, as much as I hated all of the “in these trying times” messages from the early pandemic days, I think I prefer that to the current days of ‘just plain ignoring there even is a pandemic’ and trucking along as we near the 800,000 dead in the US mark.

I understand feeling like the Wattpad thing isn’t a big deal if all you posted there was work you feel is silly and ridiculous now. But you did the work regardless and no one else should profit off of that. You may not ever want to see the work you posted on Wattpad again, but no one else deserves to profit from it just because Wattpad decided to cash in. Remove your stuff from the website, do a search for your content in case someone else posted it for you, and send them a goddamn takedown notice. This is a shitty thing to do to young writers, and if it’s not pushed back against, it will only get worse.

I feel like the worst part about this whole ViacomCBS/Paramount+ deal is that not only does it take ideas and stories from writers, most of whom are very young, but it also gets around any possible agreement and resulting guidelines with the various Writers Guilds (of America, of Canada, etc). Basically, they’re trying to get/use free labor and that is absolute fucking bullshit.

EXACTLY. The actual content does not matter. It’s both exploitation and a blatant attempt at forcing young writers to accept it. We need to fight this in every ugly form it pops up in.

Also if you’ve only posted it elsewhere, SEARCH for it on Wattpad regardless, as someone may have uploaded it for you. You might have to file a DMCA takedown, as Wattpad is notoriously reluctant to act otherwise, but it’s worth fighting this all the way through.

Does anyone know if this affects fics and stories in languages that aren’t English?

George Miller the realest person you’re ever gonna meet.

are you fucking kidding me that was two straight hours of ACTUAL EXPLOSIONS 

The best part is that, from my understanding, there were quite a few scenes where George Miller said “No this is too dangerous we’ll do this in post” and the rest of the crew was like “NO LETS DO IT NOW WE CAN DO IT”

are you telling me this was fucking cirque du soleil in the desert with fucking explosions

Tom Hardy described it as slipknot meets cirque du soleil 

literally they hired cirque du soleil acrobats to get the aerial stunts right.

George Miller is like the anti-Hitchcock. Hitchcock threw lives birds at people and fucked them up and George Miller goes ‘no you can’t have people on see-saws with engines at the end going 500 miles an hour!’ and the actors are all like ‘bitch try me’.

there is cgi, and it was used to obscure the safety wires he made them use.

This movie is two hours of stunt actors having the absolute fucking time of their lives. 

If you deadname someone in the death note it kills you

I don’t ge-… wait just one fucking minute.

Brooklyn 99 Star Trek!AU where Holt and Kevin are a human x vulcan couple but the running gag is that no one knows who is the human and who is the vulcan.

It turns out they’re both Vulcan but each thought the other one was so emotional they had to be human and they were just too polite to mention it.
