Hi I have a question about Pacific Rim. Given that the sparring is just A way to test for drift compatibility and any activity that requires people to collaborate and anticipate each others moves works, including stuff like multi player video games

Can you test for drift compatibility via improv comedy

i don't know why i am the way i am, not strong enough to be your man

THE MET GALA 2024 Mike Faist & Josh O'Connor

GUYS!!!!!!! THE SUNSHINE COURT AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK NOW!!!!!

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.

I love this 😭

tsc was a comedy actually, look:

aka Jean Moreau being salty for 350 pages

(I have so many of these, I'm 100% gonna make a part 2)

Came Back Wrong from the gocey store

wish i could go missing for a little bit and no one would freak out and then i could come back and they'd be like "did you have fun going missing" and i'd be like "yeah, thanks" and then i could do that every couple of months or so and it wouldn't be a big deal

Implying that Neil's immediate reaction to hearing that Jeremy is on the phone is to ask if Jean is okay?

If anyone needs me I’ll be thinking about how Neil josten very sweetly borrowed a pen from a waitress to put out a hit on one of jeans abusers (I want to punch Grayson very badly) in literally the most casual way, made the literal fbi wait for hi to finish his drink, told them they were illegally parked, ate his takeout in the interrogation room, and did not stop sassing even when they like threatened him.

Please Never change Neil josten

reblogging bc i really need to see this again 😭

THEY WOULD BE SO SO PROUD OF YOU

thanks to @pineapplecrispy for the suggestion + italian bonus, Owen WIlson bonus and historically inaccurated emo boys bonus

Other request (dm/comments)

one thing i was wondering while reading is that jeremy’s house is in pacific palisades which is 15 miles out from USC. sure that distance usually isn’t a problem but this is Los Angeles, traffic is terrible.

it’s 30 min from usc to his house on a good day but with traffic that could easily add another 20 min

jeremy is stronger than me 😭😭

can we please talk about this

because it's giving

and it's making me feel thingsss

“who said please that made you hate it so much?” “i did.”

vs

“they never should have said yes when you asked.” “i didn’t ask.”

Neil "You can never play Exy again" Josten and Jean "Exy is the sole purpose of your existence" Moreau

Neil "I have no choice but to run" Josten and Jean "I have no choice but to stay" Moreau

Neil "I have to be alone" Josten and Jean "Do not leave me alone" Moreau

Neil "~10% of my internal monologue centers around hiding my scars" Josten and Jean "what?" Moreau

Neil "I don't swing" Josten and Jean "the cruelty behind these nonstop temptations" Moreau

Neil "no one can know how fucked up I am" Josten and Jean "everyone keeps saying I'm fucked up?" Moreau

Neil was being chased all his life but Jean had already been caught :/ :/

Foils of all time

completely feral over this, no one speak to me i’m busy giggling and kicking my feet

I'm a simple person, but this small moment of physical comedy makes me cackle like a gremlin. (I blame growing up with the Marx Brothers and Three Stooges — no regrets of course.)

I mean just look at the shoes!!!!

im like way late to out flag means death but i just finished and it whoever chose the music deserves a big kiss on the mouth. only bops no flops. songs that i didnt know could be bops? suddenly they fuck so hard

obsessed with jean’s colorful insults/descriptions so here’s a compiled list of them in order

you arrogant fool (abby)

you imbecile (kevin)

your ball-battered brain (kevin)

you feckless child (kevin)

those clowns (trojans)

pet goalkeeper (andrew)

the tiny bastard (neil) [LMFAO]

kevin’s pet monster (andrew)

the sunshine court [derogatory]

wholesome in an unsettling, unhealthy way (the trojans)

unhinged optimist (renee)

some plump shrink (bee)

that creepy little goalkeeper andrew minyard [PLEASE i was fucking DEAD he has no idea how funny he is]

you tedious malcontent (neil) [probably my favorite one]

an abominable cockroach (neil)

the wayward child (neil) [jesus christ he is not taking it easy on neil]

andrew’s twin

worthless trash bags (foxes, past tense)

a rabid little fox (neil) [hey. remember when neil described andrew as a ‘rabid goalkeeper’ ???]

annoyingly easy to look at (jeremy)

strange and misguided (the trojans)

the cruelty of these nonstop temptations (kevin, renee, jeremy)

the sunshine court [less derogatory]

“I was hoping he would bite his tongue off in the fall and save us both some grief in the long run.” (lucas)

wretched beast (gr****n)

your ignorant mouth (lucas)

“Your apologies are as useful as perfume on a frog.” (lucas)

neil, being the person he was,

you ignorant child (neil)

miserable wretch (neil) [giving his everything to neil’s insults]

ok that’s all. unless i missed some. and if i did you have to add them it’s just law

ok another thing i love about tsc is that it’s not set up so that jeremy is jean’s sole support. in books where one character is severely traumatized or depressed or what have you, they’re often written so the love interest is the only person that they come to, or the love interest is the only person who is there for them, which ends up making it a “love can cure trauma/a mental illness” thing.

BUT nora “i’m not your answer and you sure as fuck aren’t mine” sakavic is giving us catalina and laila as well, and i believe the rest of the trojans will get there, and jean has a support system rather than a support person. and i have a feeling jean is going to either seek out or be talked into therapy and just the fact that he has people friends to come home to and be with and feel safe with and WKDJDJJSDJDJ

ive thought abt this at least 3 times an hour since i finished the book
