Sad Lesbian Train

FIRST step to enjoying any media is getting attached to the character whose suicidal tendencies are the most obvious

Second step is shipping them with whoever they are most likely to become codependent with.

Wow. So, when? Since our, uh, rookie season. Since your rookie season? No, it's not true. Since before that. Not helpful.

Hudson Williams really deserves all the props for his comedic acting in the coming out scenes. He's not playing it to the rafters - Heated Rivalry is, ultimately, a dramatic show with some jokes, not a comedy. But he's definitely turning the comedy quotient up in every interaction with his parents, and especially every one of Shane's reactions to Ilya, and it really makes that whole sequence sing. Without losing sight of how scared and freaked out Shane is, you also get some genuinely hilarious moments, just based on his reactions and line readings.

tumblr will never count as social media to me. This shit a secret hideout and we just all happen to see each others thoughts

There is a surprising amount of femdom and unapologetically horny women in Arthurian legend, while I understand this is because women were viewed as the more lascivious sex in the Medieval era, it is actually highly entertaining and (at times) refreshing to read in comparison to later literature and modern depictions of Medieval women as modest and chaste creatures with no agency. There will be a female character in a story who just wants to get her rocks off and is willing to do pretty much anything to get dicked down but she’s not framed as the villainess, just a horny. A temptress, yes, but not inherently ignoble or dirty for her sexual wants. The Vulgate Cycle is far more open about the sexual escapades of the characters than literary classics of the 19th century.

This is by no means supported by fact as far as I’m aware, but I remember reading something once that speculated that the “unicorns are drawn to virgin maidens pure of heart” originated as a bit of a joke, as the idea was that you would never ever FIND a unicorn because women who were both Virginal and Pure-Hearted were even rarer

Which is to say, like. “unicorns EXIST, it’s just that the only thing that can lure one is a pretty and kind young woman who hasn’t fucked and isn’t horny, so your chances of finding one are pretty much nil”

And whether that’s true or not I think it is a little bit funny, historical misogyny notwithstanding

After 6 years, a new Hbomberguy movie review has hit letterboxd

I think so many medieval Arthurian manuscripts remained unfinished because whoever was writing them fell victim to the fanfic writer’s curse. The person penning the tale was like ‘This is goooood. I am really cooking with this.’ and went outside to stretch their legs and promptly fell off a cliff.

Do we count this as a passive rickroll?

got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me

Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?

Shane + Tears in his eyes Pt 2 of 2

Since rookie season... The summer before.

I bet young Ilya Rozanov never thought he’d get slapped in the face with that tism rizz and he would be so fucking cooked.

This man has eight of the same shirt and five of the same hoodie. This man memorizes hockey stats for fun. This man will have a cold ginger ale. This man will look awkwardly at the camera with a smile like he wants to incinerate himself in every wet t-shirt contest sports drink ad his mom books for him. This man will take everything you say absolutely literally. That’s French, Ilya. You just said a French word and we’re talking about Russian, are you unfamiliar with your own language. This man takes three days to recognize a social cue. And ten years to name an emotion. You’ll tell him you like him in the most roundabout way and you’ll think you NAILED it, and he’ll promptly have a panic attack on your dick. When he names that emotion finally? He’ll be absolutely relentless and will not stand down; he’s had an emotion and he knows you have one, too. By that point, there’s no escape. He’s imprinted on you and is starting to ovulate in your vicinity. He will bludgeon you with adorable nerd and insatiable ass. And his oral fixation is so mighty he’ll suck your remaining brain cells out through your dick.

This man drives a Range Rover because it’s good in the snow. This man does a loon call. This man will make you eight cheeseburgers. Buddy it’s over for you.

Wow. So, when? Since our, uh, rookie season. Since your rookie season? No, it's not true. Since before that. Not helpful.
