bringing this to tumblr because a realer thing has literally never been said

Stop doing the same to little boys too.

Its not “men and women just cant be friends” its “you fourced romantic implications on children and made them uncomfortable/embarassed, socially conditioning them to not platonically interact with the opposite sex”

I think there's actually an additional level of betrayal here.

Q&A w/ Martha Wells confirmed Murderbot’s not ever going to be interested in romantic relationships LETS GO

i know im preaching to the choir but my favorite thing about tumblr and its chronological dashboard is theres little to no algorithmic favoritism built-in for upsetting content. like on twitter/tiktok/IG/etc, the more engagement something gets the more algorithm priority it receives which naturally favors extreme, and oftentimes purposefully shocking content. Its also smart enough to tell which posts you stop to read the longest and will custom-tailor show you topics that it knows you care about and will upset you and make you react.

More of his stuff and about him

I want to state, for the record, that “all the avengers would live together in the tower” wasn’t collective headcanon, it was canon. The very last scene of Avengers (2012), the one they left us on, is Tony redesigning the tower, designing a living area for each Avenger. That was, canonically, what was supposed to happen, in canon, and they just changed their minds and decided to… not. For whatever goldarn reason.

"Trauma is stored in the hips" simplistic pithy sentence meant to describe the accurate phenomenon where people who've endured lots of trauma tend to hold their core muscles much tighter causing tension and pain which has been taken out of context to mean you store the trauma spirits in your hips and they need to be released

I sometimes forget that Derek Hale grew up in a werewolf family, with weird werewolf traditions and druids and magic and a special connection with the moon.

Stiles: (panicking)Derek, I need a hoodie, like now! Its very important!

I think it would be funny to write a murder mystery where not only did every single character involved have an obvious motive to kill this mf, they were actually all attempting to murder him first, but the murder attempts all cancelled each other out all except for one. Two people tried to poison him but the poisons just happen to work as antidotes for each other, and instead of killing him only gave him the shits, and due to having the shits he couldn't go hunting that day like he had planned, foiling the plans of the one who had conditioned his favourite hunting horse to panic and bolt at the cue of a whistle, and the other murder attempt of tampering with his gun so that it would have exploded his whole face off.

When I was in high school a friend of mine would host murder mystery dinners once or twice a year. They were the kind you could buy as a kit -- I don't even know if they exist anymore -- and everyone was assigned (or chose) a character, then received a booklet of clues to share. The idea was to spend an evening in a one-shot LARP designed like an Agatha Christie novel.

A reminder, since Graham croaked:
