I love that Wei Wuxian is both sleeping beauty and the evil fairy godmother. He loses decades of his life due to evil curses... he ruins your baby's christening... he has the range.

i'm just saying i watched jeff davis force dylan o'brien and tyler hoechlin to spoon on a sailboat so they could beg for teen choice award votes so you'll have to excuse me if my bar for queerbait is a little high

I don’t like how you put these two photos together, as if to imply that the dumplings with the paw print have anything to do with this sweet, innocent angel who has never done anything wrong.

i hate it when you're heating something up in the microwave and it starts to go snap crackle pop so you take it out but it's still completely cold. shut up then??

any language you care to mention has an implicit corresponding accent in every other language, even if that pair of languages never coexisted. like, if the aztecs had learned english, they would have a way that they spoke it, influenced by their phonology and grammar and all, the same way yknow, germans and chinese and indian and mexicans do. "sumerian-accented english" never existed, but there is a correct answer to "if the sumerians had learned english, how would they have spoken it?". the romans! imagine, a roman accent! the romance languages produce pretty different accents today, so presumably its not like any of those. but for particularly well-studied dead languages, this is maybe an answerable question?

there's a p common attitude in fandom spaces (fandom in general, not a specific one) that's like "why care about canon, or the characters being ooc? we're here to play with the dolls any way we like" and as much as i obviously am a person who thinks about canon a lot in theory i'm into that. in practice though when popular fanon takes things in a wildly different direction from canon so often it's in the service of taking something that was originally canonically weird and interesting and making it blander. it's flattening a complex character into a broad archetype i've seen a million times before, it's taking two characters with a complicated canonical relationship and writing them in a way where you could find-and-replace the names with any other popular migratory slash fandom pairing and the fic would make as much if not more sense. if you're going to break away from canon at least do something interesting? don't make it less weird? i feel like i'm watching someone take a really beautiful expensive cut of wagyu steak and grind it into hamburger to cook it well done and cover it in ketchup

This is the funniest post I have ever read on Tumblr for so many…many reasons.

yeah sure why not

hey gamers I’ve started watching star trek does anyone else see the romantic tension between captain kirk and mr. spock

I love how this functions as peer review. Modern researchers have still been able to replace past results. These bitches gay.

You know, it’s important to have tragic blorbos sometimes because hey, maybe you had a bad day, maybe your job sucks so fucking much. But do you know who had a worse day? Blorbo bleebus, who’s doomed by the narrative

i think the worst thing in the world is seeing two characters with something weird as hell going on between them and you think to urself "wow i love the weird as hell thing these characters have going on between them" and you open archiveofourown.org and find out everyone else thinks they would actually be in a very normal romantic relationship
