Someone on here made a great post about how Cassandra Brand is a clear reference to Greek mythologys Cassandra, a priestess who was doomed to only tell true prophecies but never be believed. Cassandra obviously warns Miles and her friends about what his new miracle fuel will do and is entirely disregarded.
I read this post and was like "oh that's so smart, you're so right." And then like, went on with whatever I was doing.
And then that night I'm laying in bed and my eyes snap open and my brain is like "her sister was HELEN."
Cassandra forsaw the fall of Troy and was not believed.
Helen caused the fall of Troy.
wait- OH MY GOD
When you point out to people who are against animal testing that there are potentially lifesaving medications that need to be tested on mammals before going to trials that could potentially harm human lives, they’ll say shit like “We should test on prisoners instead.” Bitch. Why are you working for PETA? The WW2-era Imperial Japanese Army needs you. There is suchhhhhhh a strong thread of fascism laced through the current animal rights movement and in so many animal rights spaces and they’re extremely transparent about it.
I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty
That scene from Community is so accurate, that is exactly how these people sound. Racism, ableism and classism often tangled with their crusade for ‘animal rights’ and their talking points often go against basic ethics and basic animal husbandry.
Y'all. "Hell is empty and the devil's are here" is not one of those epic Tumblr quotes. It's from The Tempest. The Shakespeare one.
remember when that furry post went around with "you have nothing to lose but your chains" and people were saying "this is such a raw ass line and it's from a furry post" but it's literally karl marx
reading waiting for godot for class and finding out that’s where that “that’s how it is on this bitch of an earth” meme is from ruined me i think
new game: "classic or shitpost?" in which we give you a raw-ass quote and you have to determine whether it came from an internet shitpost or classic literature
"I will face god and walk backward into hell" that one on the other hand is actually from a dril tweet
“I’ll take care of you”
“it’s rotten work”
“Not to me. Not if it’s you”
classic or fandom?
true love for The Character shows itself when you imagine them suicidal with grief
I have a suggestion
Apolitically killing bandits and savages in my video game with no messages
i haaate when ppl are talking abt mammal colouration and they bring up mandrills but not vervet monkeys.... fake fans
put some respect on his name

500 years from now there’s gonna be some film historian who’s entire career is built off of searching for a copy of goncharov
and they're never gonna find it cuz they fucking took it off poob
do you ever think about how if you dive into the ocean and go deeper and deeper you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light, and if you go up into the sky and go higher and higher you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light
sometimes a post makes you get out of bed at 230am to spend a quick hour on something like this
[Image description: A color image in portrait orientation. The background transitions smoothly from a starfield on black at the top, through dark blue, medium blue, lighter blue, then back to medium, dark, and another starfield at the bottom. In the very center is a black silhouette of a human figure, appearing to float on its back as on the surface of water. Above it in the blue "sky" area are a curved, thin white line like the contrail of a jet aircraft, and two small black silhouettes of seabirds. Below in the deep dark blue, just before the starfield, are some silhouettes of fish. /end description]
saw someone say that they don't read fics under 10k and had to laugh because more fool you, that is where all the bangers are. obviously I'm biased but truly nothing hits like a 1.5k fic with a lowercase title from some obscure poet where nothing actually happens and yet you emerge blinking with a completely new outlook on the character. infinitely rereadable. like a perfectly crafted pastry. I'm gobbling them up!
