merlin might actually be one of the most tragic characters ever. imagine having all the power and knowledge of the future that merlin had and doing everything you could to change it, only to realise that it was all for nothing and that everything you did only ensured it would happen. nevermind how merlin slowly lost himself to his destiny and became a parallel of what he was fighting against. they really shouldve called the series the tragedy of merlin cause thats what it was with nobody getting a happy ending.

the year is 2010. someone opens their brand new copy of rick riordan's the lost hero. at the top of the page, 'jason' is written in all caps. where the hell, they think, is percy. they never find out.

rereading the lost hero now i have turned into the biggest jason stan HE WAS SO FUCKING ANXIOUS THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME

Greeks: Yeah Jason is cool ig

Romans: We’ve only had Percy for a day and a half but if anything happened to him we’d kill everyone in the room and then ourselves

How I look when I explain to people that I feel a little guilty every time I win a chess game because once the story ends all the characters on the board die and that in different chess games it might be the same physical pieces, but they represent different guys, and the old guys who died last time won't ever come back

Maybe a controversial opinion but I cannot stand these newer books advertising themselves by listing every single socially-conscious trope in the book. I do not want to read “500 pages of neurodivergent lesbian enemies-to-lovers slowburn horror.” Shut up. That’s like trying to sell someone a pastry by reading them the entire ingredient list and calorie count instead of just describing what it will taste like when they bite into it.

Robot creator sees their creation say they want to be a girl and they're just like

"How the hell did that happen??? I could've sworn I- no yeah honey of course I support you. I'm obviously going to modify your shell to fit how you feel but I programmed you and I put nothing about desire for gender in there??? Like I need to figure out how th- NONONO, I FULLY BELIEVE AND SUPPORT YOU AND EVERYTHING I SWEAR. YOURE A GIRL AND YOU GET TO DECIDE THAT, but if your programming is able to change or you can change it I need to know how it's happening so your programming doesn't corrupt and erase who knows what vital function- IM NOT SAYING THAT YOU NEED TO NOT BE A GIRL TO LIVE, PLEASE LISTEN- "

Aw, how sweet, they have seating for your pet Pokemon, with little steppies for the teeny ones! How adorable! It's so lovely that this city is so considerate of Pokemon!

wish there was a way to be like, hey I didn't want to pay for your streaming service subscription for this show so I watched it free on a shady pirate streaming site, I liked it so here's a one time payment of ten bucks, consider making a season two (which I'll also be watching free on a shady pirate site)

the people yearn for DVD releases

I fucking YEARN for fucking DVD releases! Fuck!

tv pitch: a completely average workplace sitcom except that it’s established at the end of the pilot that it takes place on the 90th floor of the world trade center in 2000. every episode the date is shown, just to build the sense of impending doom. the show is otherwise a completely generic the office ripoff. the intro sequence is a montage of airplanes taking off.

at the end of the second season, we reach 9/10/01. after six months of waiting, season 3 drops. now it’s 9/12/01. nothing has happened. the characters carry on as normal. fans of the series go insane. the show never explains what happened, and continues to pretend it’s a normal sitcom.
