and while we're on the subject of luigi mangione, FREE NATHAN MAHONEY (who stabbed his company's CEO during a meeting)! the reason you may not have heard this name is because the police clearly do not want to make the same mistake they did with Mangione by allowing him to become a symbol. let's show our support for Nathan Mahoney, who looks exactly how he should in his mugshot— proud of himself
Tim: and i have to do all of this paperwork for what? Just cause Jonah's Magnussy woke up one day and decided to document the horrors? this is bullshit
Elias: Jonah's what
hey tumblr don’t fucking say this to me
Part three bitches
Stupid idea
I'm the end
just realised how in most such stories, it is always the sidekick/best friend characters that try to valiantly give up their lives so the main character–the more plot significant actor–gets to proceed on the journey to thwart evil and save and the world or wtv but in percy jackson, percy is the one continuously and consistently sacrificing himself and uplifting the importance of other characters on the journey. he acts like he’s totally dispensable and not at all important in the larger scheme of things, thinks that between the three of them, his absence will be the least disruptive and it’s just such a unique spin on the trope because percy never ever thinks it’s okay for others to die in order for him to live on, instead he tries his best to keep everyone else safe at his own cost and yes it’s a fatal flaw, a self-sacrificing mentality that isn’t all healthy but it’s such a rootable, endearing aspect of his character i’m. sobbing. BYE.
So when I was in middle school and realized I'm not straight I remember feeling so alienated in public discourse because gay people were treated as a culture war talking point. and we would have literal school assignment debates in class on whether people like me should have rights. Very few people Knew this about me outside a couple friends but it felt like gay people were treated as a theoretical concept and not actual living human beings who could be sitting in the room while non gay people discussed if they should be allowed to live. I would go online and see such undisguised virtriol about people like me-- even 'allies' seemed to treat me as a Concept or Political Ideology instead of a person. It's such a bizarre feeling, but as the years went by at least people seemed to see me as a human being who could exist and maybe be in the room while talking about this kind of stuff. The feeling of being An Ambiguously Real But Conceptual Forcibly Politicized Entity slowly went away. So it is nostalgic in the absolute worst fucking way possible to be trans right now and feeling the exact same thing I felt back then.
My take on michael🫣
this line is making me really want to write a fic where an earlier version of Jon (maybe S2) finds and listens to Gertrude’s tape that explains everything. i just think it would be really funny to put him through that
If they made him look more cool they wouldn’t be able to justify why he doesn’t have a canon love interest
I actually love how ugly Merlin's outfit is in Merlin. BEFORE YOU YELL AT ME - I love his outfit, I think it's fun, but when you look at every other character, even other peasants, he literally is wearing ill fitting rags. Everything is too big on him (despite being like six foot but whatever) and his silhouette reeks of boring character design.
But like!! Yeah!! He is just Some Guy. I love how they never give him som epic mage robes or a cool outfit for more than thirty seconds. He is unassuming. He's over here, commanding dragons and controlling the weather in the medieval equivalent of stained sweatpants and a night shirt. It's great.
Rain, they/themEveryone I know irl is sick of hearing about my hyperfixations so I came here instead
