(remembering how tumblr user "lastlevelindruid" makes me cry every time they pop up in my notes) (this is not a complaint)

I saw fascinating commentary about the pariah blades becoming the painted blades in their new role as anchors for this bridge and how it wasn't the paint, it was the intention with which they were changed - ie reforged, without ever going back into the fire

oh no

genius loci??

"it's all about new paths"

"like corn cob holders" matt killed marisha

"the biggest bad: ticketmaster"

I showed this post to my boyfriend and he tried to take his shirt off like a girl and 

uh

and it made me realize that girls and boys pull their shirt off differently. /amazed

Its not science unless you write it down so 

Well done, i guess…

Second:

I fucked up

It’s all in the way that girl/boys shirts are made.

Girls shirts have less armpit room then boy’s do and are generally shorter so pulling it off over your head is more practical because by lifting your arms all the way up you make enough room for the sleeves to just slip off.

Boys shirts have more room and are generally longer so it is easy to slip them off over your head.

but if you take a girls shirt off like a boys shirt you will get your arms caught because there isn’t much armpit space.

and if you take a boys shirt off like a girls shit you will still have your head in it when you’ve lifted your arms all the way up because of the shirt’s length.

That list might say things like “Paint a picture. Go birdwatching. Finish that great novel I started reading. Call my grandma. Learn to bake a cake. Visit my sister. Play piano.”

“I should not be struggling this much to do things that I want to do and have the time, space, energy, and skills to do. Actually, when I list it all out like that, I should not be struggling at all to do those kinds of tasks.”

raine whispers what are you doing here

I really like kaylie's redesign!!

scanlan's less so

no one expects vox machina

scanlan does not have the same world-saving gene as the rest of you

alright groglan shippers come get your crumbs

pike gets scanlan

unfortunately

my roommate fully checked out on scanlan as a character during the umbrasyl fight, when he was having his To Run Or Not To Run moment. I was fascinated bc it was such a departure from how he was in the campaign (when you're trying to Play A Fun Game With Your Friends it's bad form to have your character fuck off in the middle of a boss fight, even if it suits their character/how you think they'd respond), she was bored of the coward act.

"why were you in college for seven years" maybe he did post-grad! be nice to tary!

it's you. you're the asshole.

"you're so….rotund"

be nice to tary

the adventurers do NOT meet in this tavern

"I need a shot" what were you doing this whole time??

pike would be the BEST dad

PISSCARVER

my first thought was the flirty grass (even though they didn't do that here)

are we supposed to take this as scanlan having been doing spice the whole time, just off-camera

this is such a dangerous room to be in

kaylie's vision is based on movement

poor percy

extremely scanlan rule

"I can't read! :D"

"Women are soft and tender and they are not for me."

fake making out with pike put tary back in the closet

"you turned a vestige of divergence into a guitar??" and it fucks

I was hoping the title was just an artifact of the campaign

I am not that lucky

it hits a little different/harder with the thought that he's been stewing on this for a whole year and just finally has the chance to let it out

"you didn't know my mother's name" get his ass

we just get a whole season of scanlan songs in one episode

(this is in no way a complaint)

also it is extremely scanlan to assume he could just. have a vestige without anyone coming after it

references they couldn't not make

we get it, you watched equestria girls

I have a vague theory that grog held on to at least one int point from the potion

emotional intelligence would be wis, but still

also the fact that originally that line was directly after scanlan blew up at them out of seemingly nowhere and grog sounded so utterly abashed about it, ugh, how has travis killed me with acting as grog

ugh these two

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.
