"we want more complex female characters!" you couldn't even handle jocelyn fairchild

jean entering franks mind and only saying “this guy’s gotttt issues” that’s it that’s his character

I know we all had ideas about what these characters - Harris in particular - should look like and, yes, I am included in that, but I feel like now is a good time for a reminder that targeted comments on people's bodies can be incredibly triggering and that under no circumstances should anyone's frustration with casting decisions be taken out on the actors themselves.

Again Spider-man brand new day spoilers but what do you mean people are pissed at MJ for saying she doesn't love Peter yeah no shit she doesn't know that man sorry thats what happens when you specifically cast a spell to erase someone's memory of you then do nothing to reintroduce yourself to them for several years hello consequences of Peter's choices

the NHL official account posted a video of shane and ilya at the practice with the caption “when you and your best friend are on the same team” and it’s a minute long compilation of them skating around the rink yapping, giggling, whispering, pushing each other around, hitting each other with the stick and just completely attached at the hip. one of the top comments being like “omg do they turn everything into a date?” and the same commenter later posted a screenshot “not the cens players liking my comment”

something went wrong while booking the rooms for the centaurs during an away game, and troy somehow ended up having to share a room with the husbands. he’s arguing with wiebe like “i don’t want to share a room with those freaks, what if i wake up with them having sex in front of me?” and ilya’s like “do you think we spend all of our free time fucking?” and troy goes “no?” and ilya goes “no, there’s also hand jobs and blow jobs” and him and shane burst out laughing while troy turns to wiebe like “you see them?” and wiebe’s like “we’ll find a way, we can check at the reception if there are any available rooms, or you can grab your mattress and go to share a room with another player” and troy says “thank you” and ilya goes “i wouldn’t mind you watching us, but shane is very boring” and shane slaps him. in the end troy ended up sharing the room with them without any problems because shane and ilya dropped off to sleep right after getting into bed

i don't see nearly enough people talking about how shane, wyatt, and bood are going to be such a fun trio on the cens. like on montreal shane's best friends were dumbass extraordinaire hayden pike and slightly more observant slightly less dumbass extraordinaire jj boiziau. he's going to feel right at home with thing1 and thing2. dumb and dumber. it also helps that bood and wyatt are damn good at what they do and shane already respects them so he doesn't have to get past the why the fuck are you so okay with losing attitude that a lot of the others have. i have no worries about shane being loved by the cens but i think he deserves two particularly close friends to fill the gap hayden and jj are leaving

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
