we can be alone. ✨together✨

i love shane so much :( it's peak shaney to ask questions that are kind of weird (i.e. 'sick like crazy??' and 'is it like... very upsetting??' and my favorite 'what will they do to you there???' re: ilya and russia LOL) but ultimately shane will use what he's learned from those questions to come up with a solution so simple and earnest like "well why don't you tell me everything that's on your mind, but in russian??? maybe it will help :)" like guh :'( ilya's so luckyy to have himmm shane just gets him and like pays so much attention to him and just LOVES HIM SOO MUCHHH :'( AND HE'S ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE BEST WAY ILYA CAN TALK ABOUT HIMSELF BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT'S HARD FOR HIMM :'(

like many people have said this better than me but no it IS odd that we've come to think of potatoes as so quintessentially european that their presence in historical fantasy where they're anachronistic doesn't jar. and yes people are trying to have the trappings of post-colonial europe without engaging w the icky colonialism part and yes people are neglecting to imagine what a european cuisine without potatoes would be like.

im fully in favour of 'let people have fun w their fantasy world' but is considering how the potatoes got there in the absence of colonialism not a fun exercise? maybe every year the dragon riders go on a great transatlantic potato pilgrimage

need a polite way to say "im not engaging in a discussion on this topic with you because the conclusions you have reached are based on so many interwoven layers of misconceptions it would be easier to just like, hard reset your whole brain, just start over as a baby and try again"

happy decade to the horrible beast i have wrought

"There's no platonic explanation for this" <-you need to be nicer to your friends. Right now

#STOP SAYING 'PLATONIC' WHEN YOU MEAN 'CASUAL'#RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE PLATONIC AND ABSOLUTELY DERANGED

i love "coyote time" as a phrase. I wish it was time for coyotoes all of the time.

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

What if everything gets better in 2016
