Canāt get more canon compliant than this
glass onion was amazing and I wouldnāt change anything about it. BUT I do think it would have been hilarious if there was a post credit scene with all of them getting covid, because of course milesā gun vax thing doesnāt work.
One of my favorite thing Iāve learned about animals studies is that you should avoid using colorful leg bands when youāre banding birds because you can accidentally completely skew the data because female birds prefer males with colorful bands
Apparently if you put a red band on a male red wing blackbird his harem size can double
So like you can completely frick up the natural reproduction of a group of birds by giving a guy a bracelet so stylish that females CANNOT resist him
Me, putting a red bracelet on the leg of a male red wing blackbird: ON GOD we gonna get u some pussy bro
I remember reading a study where researchers realized that female birds of a certain species preferred males with a darker breast. So they created what they literally called a āSuper-Sexy Maleā by catching a male and coloring his chest with a marker. They then ran dna tests on the eggs in the area.
Previously when the researchers had run these tests, they found a certain amount of infidelity was common for these birds. Somewhere around 10% of eggs were fathered by males who were not the primary mates of females.
After the advent of the Super Sexy Male, however, stuff got crazy in bird world. Infidelity skyrocketed, with upwards of 25% of ALL EGGS in the area being fathered by this specific male. Furthermore, his mateās eggs were 100% his.
This is just insane to me. Just imagine youāre living your bird life when suddenly somebody scribbles on Daveās chest and the ladies canāt stop throwing themselves at them. Itās stupid that we theoretically can wreck this kind of havoc on an ecosystem.

idk but this needs to be a book
Come into a fandom late. Leave early. Write 100 fics. Write 1. Write none. Read every single fic written in your fandom. Read only your OTP. Write only your OTP. Write every pairing under the sun. Make gifs just for your friends. Make gifs to share with everyone. Make art. Make nothing.
Cheerlead from afar and keep to yourself. Join a groupchat. Yell about headcanons with your friends. Leave kudos. Leave comments. Make fic recs. Bookmark everything. Read or watch and then forget it.
Treat canon like gospel. Treat canon like a dumpster fire. Only read/write/art coffeeshop AUs. Decide your corner will be all hurt no comfort. Decide your cornerĀ will be all fluff no angst.
Fandom isn't one size fits all, and there is no one right way to do it. So find what works for you, and don't worry about all of the outside noise. It doesn't matter how everyone else does fandom.
All are welcome.

Did you know? The reason citation in APA use only initials and not full names is because some women ran an experiment. They submitted some articles theyād written to a journal and the articles were rejected. They changed nothing about the articles except the authorsā names, which they changed to male names, and resubmitted them. The articles were accepted.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburgās husband taught at my law school. On the door to his office he had taped a letter addressed to āJustice and Mrs. Ginsburg.ā
Whereās that post about female musicians being judged harder than (marked as being inferior to) their male counterparts ā even in a blind test ā because the judges could hear their high heels?Ā
Kinda fucked up and nasty how vampires drink blood, imo. Like. Pepsi costs a dollar seventy five
Hospital
Not me Iām paying a dollar seventy five. At the hospital
I feel like weāre getting off topic
So is pepsi if you steal it?
Because itās only a dollar seventy five
Why in God's name would a vampire drink pepsi
Why would anyone drink Pepsi?
Huh?
Thatās why Iām not a fan of the sexy vampire trope.
1. Itās overused and supports the current status quote of typical vampire supremacy:worshiping rich folk.
2. Vampires prey upon humans and therefore symbolize capitalists preying on the working class.
3. Werewolves are much sexier imo.
am I having a stroke????
you might want to go to the hospital then
I hear the Pepsi is cheaper there
Enter DAISY GRIME, a CLOWN, accompanied by FOOLS, HARLEQUINS, and JESTERS.
GRIME I say ātis dirty, wicked, foul, and dark -- An opportunity both missād and scornād -- That vampires of any shape or shade Would drink the blood of innocence most pure When Pepsi costs a dollar sevānty five.
FIRST FOOL O lady, I must ask, and tell the truth: Wherever in this Godās green holy land Canst thou obtain this drink for such a fee? Iāve seen no less than fifty-five pence more.
GRIME A hospital, good sir.
SECOND FOOL (Does some figures) Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā And might I ask Wherever in this land (of any hue) Is fellow who two dollar thirty pence Dost pay for si of Pep?
GRIME Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Not I, iāfaith. I pay a mere two shillings short of two. And, once again, I pay in hospital.
CANADIAN JESTER I pay a hefty two and half for mine. But in my blood runs maple syrup, too.
GRIME O Jester fine, I pray thee, still thyself. Thou strayāst from this, our mode of speaking here.
FIRST FOOL But blood costs naught but time.
SECOND JESTER Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Aye, that is true; But sir, remember this in figuring: A Pepsi, too, is free, if stolen ātis.
FIRST FOOL I see, but -- wait, another thought occurs. Wherefore, I ask thee, for what reason, sirs, Dost Lady Grime buy Pepsi from the house Of healing, birth, and death?
GRIME Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āTis simple, friend. Allow me to explain to thee the cause. The Pepsi sold by those who follow in The footsteps of St. Luke, Evangelist Is sold for a mere dollar sevānty five.
FIRST HARLEQUIN (Aside, to SECOND HARLEQUIN) Why wouldst a vampire drink Pepsi, then?
SECOND HARLEQUIN (Aside, to FIRST HARLEQUIN) Why wouldst an honest man drink Pepsi, sir?
FIRST FOOL A femboy, it would seem.
(There is general applause and agreement.)
GRIME Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā O fool, a what?
Enter KONAHRIKS DeāACTIVAT EDZOZ ESQ., a SCHOLAR and WARD OF THE SKY.
WARD You see, my friends, this selfsame story tells The truth of why the incubusās tale Is one that bears to no more to be declared. Iāll tell you all my reasons three. The first: The wealthy ghoul who drinks the common blood Is overused and stale, like molding bread; But also hangs upon the tellerās face A pallid, gasping idol worship mask. The second mark I tally here along: A vampire who sucks the blood from men Does hold up in the mind a mirror cold. This mirror shows that, far from fantasy, The vampire is real, ātis Elon Musk. The reason third is simple, clean, and pure: A werewolfās just, like, sexier, my dudes.
(GRIME dances like a ferret. There is rejoicing.)
Exeunt.
Enter LARA, FELAGUND, and SHERLOCK, accompanied by the MANGO MERCHANT.
LARA I feel these words have struck me to my core. Is this, the world, collapsing to the ground Or is it just my weary, shaking soul?
FELAGUND āTwould seem my lady needs to see St. Luke.
SHERLOCK Iāve heard his fellows sell a Pepsi cheap.
(The MANGO MERCHANT offers a mango. All weep.)
Exeunt.
Alright thatās it, weāve got the Shakespearan translation too, this post is complete now.
Jackasses.
First Hakukai of the year is a scene from RoT Chapter 4 āļø
aaaaa this looks so soft and atmospheric... i can't wait to properly sit down and catch up with your fic again!! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
COVID is slowly becoming a āthird worldā disease. While first world countries are hoarding vaccines, having doses for populations many times their size, third world countries canāt get any because pharma companies want to sell to the first world countries first. Even then, first world countries will receive them first. While rich countries recover from COVID, they will forget about the pandemic while many other countries live the absolute worst moment of the pandemic without being able to vaccinate their population.
Watch also when some first world countries finish vaccinating their populations, they will turn to third world countries and ādonateā or sell surplus vaccines. People in these countries will go āOh how sweet! The government is donating vaccines to the poorer countries <3ā when it was their hoarding that led to many, many third world citizens dying before they could even get vaccinated in the first place.
african and latin american countries are also pushed by pfizer to give up sovereign assets as part of their vaccine agreement
Yo europeans, sign the fucking petition, get the european commission to lift the patents
Everyone deserves protection from COVID-19.
This is not a bullshit useless change dot org petition by the way this is an actual thing with legal consequences. If this petition gets to a million signatures, the european commission HAS to examine it.
They need not only a million signatures but to pass thresholds in at least seven member states - which only Belgium has done so so far. Especially if you have Italian, Irish, or Cypriot citizenship, please sign. Sign it in general, but try to circulate if you can to anyone with those nationalities specifically.
231,195 / 1,000,000 signatures as of 10/28/21
237,730 Ā / Ā 1,000,000Ā signatures as of 11/28/21 and the Signatory Deadline(it has to be signed by this date) is January 8th, 2022.
PLEASE sign, especially if youāre from one of the countries that has not reached itās threshold. (France, Sweden, Greece, Germany, The Netherlands, Austriaā¦basically every country except Italy and Belgium)
Minimum thresholds must be met in at least five more countries in addition to the 1,000,000 signatures requirement.
The countries closest to reaching their minimum threshold are Ireland(89% of required signatures), France(75%), The Netherlands (75%), Spain (69%), and Cyprus (46%). If you or anyone you know have citizenship in these countries, please sign it, encourage them to sign it, and pass it forward.
If the requirements are met, the European Commission will be forced to examine this and take legal action. Real change is a possibility if enough signatures are collected.
Spread this.
tried to look up whether UK has passed the threshold for expected votes, can't find it in the list and then remembering this bloody country isn't part of the EU anymore ERGH

00Q / this madness of miracles (escaping the burning wait)
A NTTD Fix-It Fic. Contains Spoilers.
Q listens to the exchange between Madeline and Bond, noting the finality of it, feeling hot and cold all over, frustrated and wrong, filled with indignation trying to crawl out of his skin. A beautiful exchange of sentiments, certainly, but it is at the heart of it, giving up, and Q absolutely detests giving up.
He jabs the button on the intercom and cuts across the wordless silence, stretching out before the oncoming storm. āI can fix this, Bond. Get off the island.ā
A beat, then, āYou just said thatās not possible,ā Bond says. He doesnāt even sound surprised that Q has cut in, ruined their final moment of peace, but he sounds amused, at least. Alive still. āPermanent, I believe is the word you used.ā
āSo are tattoos and taxes,ā and death, Q does not say. āBut there are ways to get around it. Get off the island and I will fix it.ā
āQ...ā Bond sounds exasperated, with a soft exhale. It brings to his mind a picture of a lion laying down its head, in a darkened forest, by the dimming light. āItās been a good run.ā
āOh shut up,ā Q snaps, irate. āDonāt doubt me. I can think of forty-seven ways to fix this, just off the top of my head. Get off the island.ā
A pause. He can see in his mindās eye, Bond watching the missiles approaching, fireworks in the sky. The next sentence comes to him like a wisp of sunshine filtering through the dark fog, a barely perceptible change in tone, in hope. āBit late for last minute epiphanies.ā
āTrade a miracle with me, Bond.ā Q says, quiet and beseeching, staring at the blinking Psi symbol on the screen. āGet off the island, and I will fix everything.ā
Bond gets off the island.

If youāre writing about a character whoās rich and has a big house, and youāre writing in any sort of historical setting, I canāt help but feel that youāre missing an opportunity if you never talk about the Guests.
In a modern context, big houses rarely serve any narrative purpose beyond jokes about rooms nobody has ever been in, but historically, all that extra space had an important function. Apart from families generally being larger and multi-generational households being the norm, hospitality was a major part of a wealthy householdās basic social obligations. Travel was time-consuming and expensive, and obviously your rich buddies couldnāt just rent a room while they were in town (how gauche!), so youād be expected to put them up for as long as they cared to stay. Indeed, being able to put up lots and lots of guests was one of the basic ways you demonstrated your high status.
This expectation of hospitality extended beyond your immediate social circle, as well. If you were the big name around town, you could expect to have government officials, artists and philosophers, travelling nobility, and the like hitting you up for a spare room on very little notice, and you had to be very careful about sayingĀ ānoā because refusal might be construed as a snub ā or worse, an admission that you canāt afford it! The upshot is that, at any given time, a large household might be playing host to a bewildering assortment of friends, relatives, friends of relatives, relatives of friends, celebrities both far-ranging and local, dignitaries, con artists, miscellaneous weirdos, and that one guy who nobody can quite place, but whose presence everyone is too polite to question.
(The miscellaneous weirdos are a big part of it, in fact. If youāve ever wondered how someone makes a career out of something like ābeing Franceās most famous loverā, thatās basically how it worked: youād use your outlandish reputation to prevail on some random wealthy jerkās hospitality, hang around their house as an āhonoured guestā for a couple of months, then discreetly move on before you wore out your welcome and repeat the whole process somewhere else. There was a whole class of people who made lifelong careers out of being entertainingly weird guests.)
Like, sure, thereās no obligation to get into any of that if domestic affairs arenāt the focus of your story. However, if you are keeping the plot close to home, itās something where a little bit of extra thought can pay large dividends. Keep it in mind when youāre plotting out that Pride and Prejudice Batman AU next time!
I think my favourite thing about this post is all the folks in the notes whoāve read fiction set in the era of grand households but had assumed that it was merely a conceit of the genre that those households were Like That suddenly realising some things.
#is there a limit to social status with these? #like you have to be similar social standing? #or can the queen just descend on any house she feels like and stress them out for a week to remind them whoās boss #is that a thing? (via @gigglebug)
Yes and no.
In general, you wouldnāt prevail upon the hospitality of someone too much lower than you in status, lest you be perceived as slumming it ā and on the flip side, if you prevailed upon the hospitality of someone too much higher than you in status, the master of the house could tell you to fuck off without consequence, so youād have to go out of your way to make yourself a desirable guest. (See: the āentertaining weirdoā parenthetical, above.)
However, in many regions in which such hospitality has historically been practised, the reigning monarch absolutely could ā and did ā demand invitations from whomever they pleased, without regard for relative status. In fact, several monarchs of England were infamous for weaponising this custom in order to bankrupt and destroy nobles they didnāt care for by making obnoxious guests of themselves.
there is indeed a noble in england who tried to build a house fit for a king and then bankrupted himself before he could have it finished, a grand story now told every single time a plebian visits through the national trust scheme!
what happens when two dramatic bitches like Geralt and Aragorn visit the same tavern on the same night and thereās only one corner table for them to brood at in a solitary fashion, would they take turns or share a booth while simply refusing to acknowledge each otherās existence
And there was only one corner tableā¦!
oh my god there was only one corner tableā¦
No but deadass they would just share a booth as the two loner kids in a crowd. They would vibe SO HARD I never thought of this but they would absolutely love each other and say like 10 words to each other
