ilya entering that hospital room sick to his stomach teeth ground to dust spirit crushed under the weight of their circumstances prepared to have an extremely difficult conversation and shane immediately hitting him with this

Grace explaining sheepishly to Eridian linguists that the reason he uses different pronouns for Rocky than for the rest of the population is that he reflexively defaulted to assigning Rocky the same grammatical and social gender that he himself uses, in a way that has historical precedent but in modern English is considered somewhat chauvinistic and backward, and he's not proud of it but also the habit is pretty deeply ingrained now and unless Rocky objects it's probably easier to just keep on as he has been...

and immediately being informed lol. lmao. do not even worry about it. you have no idea what kind of buck wild grammatical constructs Rocky has invented for you. everyone else addresses you as foreigner/scholar. they're somehow managing to refer to you as their sibling, ward, and semidivine culture hero at the same time every time they talk about you.

shane and ilya get married and live together and shane’s goes “you’re like always stealing my hoodies” and ilya goes “actually☝️they are our hoodies. was in the marriage agreement.” “marriage agreement?” “yes, says: ilya can wear all of shane’s hoodies whenever he wants because they are now his hoodies, too.” “… then I can steal your shirts.” “oh nooo. noooo shane do not do thaaat. that would be terrible. I would haaaate to see my husband in my clothes. noooo.”

The concept of Gachiakuta is kinda funny to me when you think about it. Like, I love the idea of finding value in trash and taking care of the things that are important to you.

HOWEVER

The idea that anything can technically become a vital instrument is funny af. There’s someone walking around in the show with a whole ass manhole because she loved it enough. Can you imagine this in the real world? I probably wouldn’t bat an eye if it was in New York City or something, but imagine someone walking around with their emotional support toaster in Tokyo.

Anyway, what would your vital instrument be?

starting the countdown until gaylors start saying that Adam Sandler officiating Taylor's wedding (sorry if this is how you found out) is actually proof that it's a sham because it's a reference to I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007), in which Sandler and Kevin James play heterosexual men who enter a mutually beneficial fake gay marriage, a dynamic that Taylor is inverting as a queer woman pretending to be straight while cleverly flagging the obvious farce to those with the eyes to see

hikes are very good yes but a deluxe hike is when you are a accompanied by a freak with niche nature knowledge. they’re like omg stop there’s a horned valerian varmint beetle here and then you both get to crouch down and look at a bug like :)

happy winter solstice

Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.

“Eridians dislike earth because they abandoned Grace.” *Incorrect Buzzer Sound* ya missed the point of the story buddy! It’s not about someone being ‘bad’ it’s about the incredible power of love and that love being worth dying for!

Gimmie Eridians who are absolutely heartbroken to hear that humans where so desperate and so scared that they where willing to part with not just one Grace, there were three of them! Gimmie Eridians touched to find that the humans planned a way for their sacrifices to be as comfortable as possible. Gimmie Eridians who send earth a message saying “We know it must have hurt to send your heroes to die, but one made it and he’s safe here. We lost 22 good Eridians on the journey we would have lost 23 if not for your Grace.”

Give me humans sitting on Earth slowly coming to the conclusion that when we look up not only are we not alone, someone out there is alive because of one of us. That no matter what we think of ourselves a whole species thinks highly of us because we helped save the galaxy. Give me humans who figure out how to send a probe to Erid filled to the brim with messages for Grace and footage of a monument being raised that reads his name, his crews names, and then “in memory of the 22 Eridians who lost their lives on the journey to save the stars.”

Tim getting questioned by his school for having bruises (canon) + Tim wearing makeup to cover his bruises (canon) + tim being very popular in the schools he went to (canon) = Tim accidentally starting a boys wearing makeup too trend at his school during peak 90’s/early 00’s (not canon but plausible and will piss off Chuck Dixon so it’s real to me 🙂‍↕️)

Alexa play Now or Never from High School Musical 3

you know those videos of tortoises getting brushed? yeah

fantasy/scifi discrimination is always such an interesting topic in fiction to me because on the one hand yeah if you have a world where multiple sapient species exist alongside eachother of course theyre going to have major differences and conflicts and stereotypes. but i feel like so many writers try to 'justify' the conflict because they dont want either side to look unreasonable so they'll be like "these are my aliens the scoobles and the blinkies. the scoobles emit toxic radiation and have killed 30000 blinkies just by existing. the blinkies are mean to the scoobles because of this. this is just like racism." and its like hey um. can we rethink the messages a little bestie. just a little. a second draft.

do you think bowser ever gets anxious after kidnapping peach again that he went too far this time and he calls mario up in the middle of the night to make sure they’re still on for tennis and gokarting next weekend
