gay people never flirt normally its always gotta be shit like this

every time I get a new mutual *places you gently in my mutual basket and tucks you in with a gingham cloth like a delicate egg*

Wait but actually can someone make an edit of the muscle arms handshake with Faile and Berelain with "gaslight gatekeep girlboss" in the middle?

reblog to give warm bread to your mutuals

and I respect that tbh

The Wheel of Time 1.05 + friendship & platonic intimacy

making friends as an adult is the worst, I just want to know people already. no meet only know

Netflix: We’re swapping Geralt in season 4.

Henry: “I’m laying down my medallion and swords.”, but you’ll like new Geralt.

Liam: I’m happy to pick up your swords and medallion. I’ll do my best.

I keep thinking about this tweet, how meaningful and reassuring it was that when one pillar of my childhoods crumbled, the others stepped forward to show they would continue to shoulder the remaining weight all their own.

And this phrase in particular — “I do not think these things of you” — is such a quintessential Piercian refrain. It’s direct in a way that cuts to the core of the argument. It’s a little old fashioned, a bit clunky in its plainness. It acknowledges the distasteful power an argument may hold while simultaneously denying it room to breathe.

I keep hearing that thing Tammy said about Alanna and Kel—which itself is not particularly meaningful to me—playing in my head over and over like a mantra. Because it’s catchy.

“Alanna prefers “Sir” because she was making a point. Kel prefers “Lady Knight” because she’s making a different point.”

…The clarity! The concision! The oddly plain, repetitive twist, easily avoided, that nonetheless persists and makes you stumble.

The statement cuts straight to the point, but it leaves space for you to draw the conclusion yourself. It’s instructive but not pedagogical. It’s a bit awkward, but somehow that works in its favor.

It’s a way Tammy has of writing that I (an overwriter, an overthinker) have held up in my head as a model for years. As much as I am grateful for Tammy’s consistent stance on the right side of the fight for justice, I am also grateful for her specific way with words: simple, blunt, and unadorned, which has meant something to me for so long.

one of my favorite things about rereading books from my childhood is laughing at characters’ first impressions of their future love interests

it occurred to me today, “that bird is your future husband” actually applies twice in the tortall books

sometimes i think the only thing you need to know about my fandom habits is that darcy x lizzie and mulder x scully were my two most formative ships.

and sometimes i think the only thing you need to know about me is that daine x numair awakened something within me that was very enlightening

look, I’m a simple woman, i just want villains and heroes in love with each other and pissed off about it

I should probably stop being so insane about Community, but I simply refuse to stop so here you go: more Community and text posts

Moiraine when Mat and Perrin make fun of Rand’s fancy clothes:

Hello stormlight fans

I've binged the first 7 Kate Daniels books and I have thOUGHTS!

Initially, I wasn't a big fan of Kate. I don't love the "badass snarky woman who doesn't need anyone" trope, but as the series progressed, I found myself loving her more and more. Her background (Voron, specifically) endeared me to her, but more than that, her found family and the love she has for them sealed the deal. Love this series. So far there are ZERO misses in the Ilona Andrews' collection. I know some spoilers for the series and Julie's spin-off (please please please let her and Derek be in love forever and have beautiful babies). I'm already so sad to say goodbye to these characters.

Hell yeah she's not. I love Desandra. Love girls supporting girls haha

So I wasn't a huge fan of Kate Daniels series at first but...oh my god I just finished Magic Rises and I am emotionally devastated

I started reading Ilona Andrews' books and lemme say....SO FUCKING GOOD. so good. Reading slump? OVER. Depression? CURED!! Skin? well that's still meh BUT WHATEVER!!!! NEW BOOKS TO READ NEW CHARACTERS TO SHIP NEW MAGIC SYSTEMS TO EXPLORE!!!
