I think it’s time for us to all collectively return to the library. Get a card, go to a club meeting, volunteer on an off day, rent some equipment. You don’t even have to read a book. But since the digital world is rapidly becoming a subscription-only hellscape requiring a criminal amount of private personal information to use even CASUALLY, the library has become our last safe haven to just exist with information present and not have our labour or information exploited for money.

“How will I survive this missing? How do others do it? People die all the time. Every day. Every hour. There are families all over the world staring at beds that are no longer slept in, shoes that are no longer worn. Families that no longer have to buy a particular cereal, a kind of shampoo. There are people everywhere standing in line at the movies, buying curtains, walking dogs, while inside, their hearts are ripping to shreds. For years. For their whole lives.”

I know we’ve pretty much driven into the ground the plot hole about why didn’t Alice overhear James on the phone in the hotel room but I need to scream about it again.

Because if Edward can hear Bella’s footsteps as she runs across the room in the background when he calls Alice to make a new plan. (Screenshot from MS chapter 24 )

Why can’t Alice at least know when James switches off the tape of Renee and starts speaking. I feel at bare minimum the voice on the other end would change so much that she should notice!


Posting as I listen to @threebooksoneplot btw great episode y'all

Person A: “Look, I know you hate (Person B) for everything they’ve done to you, and I hate them too, which is why I agreed to help… But you have got to stop being so reckless with your acts of revenge! We are rapidly running out of willing alibis!” 

Person C: “…Then how about we create one?”

Person A: “…What?”

Person C: “An alibi! How about we create an alibi that’s so ironclad, suspecting us even a little bit will make them look like fools, and force everyone else to start doubting them!”

Person A: “…I’m listening.”

Maids, cleaners, janitors, and sanitation workers are all the most important people of civilization by far. Even 12 hours without them is VERY noticable and they simply need to be highly compensated for it

People in badly written fantasy stories will usually talk about the major historical events of their world and how magic has affected the lives of everyone, but ask a person in the real world to describe the effects of WWI and the invention of the combustion engine on modern life and they’d probably couldn’t tell you.

Broke: every character seems to know everything about the history and lore of the world

Woke: most characters can’t tell you much besides the basics but there are some that can tell you more complete but specific parts

H Y P E R W O K E: Every character tells you a wildly different version of the past and what effects it has on the present, ranging from the government is an imperialist, colonizing body obsessed with power to the one true ruler was sent by the gods and has smote down anyone who got in his way to “Oh you mean Jeff, the quote unquote tyrant of the west? I knew that guy! He was alright, never did anything wrong really just wanted some soup.” And there’s no way to tell what actually happened

I like your thinking

really sorry to all my followers but I’m reblogging this every time it’s on my dash

alright twilight fandom. stop scrolling. look me in my eyes right now. LOOK @ ME

why. just why. am I seeing “lol twilight SUCKS twilight is STUPID twilight is just so BAD AND AWFUL why didn’t anyone stop smeyer from publishing these books UGH twilight is just so dumb and terrible :/” posts in the twilight tags. why am I seeing that in any of the character tags. and most importantly why am I seeing that by twilight blogs??????? hello?????

you know… you’re allowed to say that you like twilight. you’re allowed to enjoy twilight. you don’t have to constantly undercut something you’re interested in just because you think it makes you more palatable to random people online who do not know or care about you outside of one singular interest. you are allowed to be a fan of these books or movies independent from what the ~contrary and edgy~ mainstream fandom opinion is.

this has always been a trend in the twilight tumblr fandom; it was certainly more prevalent during the height of the renaissance (~2018-20) but I’ve been seeing it make a come back recently. this trend where if you express any sort of positive emotion towards the twilight canon you better make sure you, in the same breath, also remind whoever is reading your post that “of COURSE I don’t think twilight is good or interesting or that stephenie meyer can write at ALL… I might be a twilight fan but I’m a GOOD one and I’m #different!”

listen. you don’t need to impress people who are so unhappy with their own interests that they feel the need to declare that fandom-wide self deprecation is the only way toward acceptance in fandom spaces. you don’t need to internalize that idea. you also don’t need to feel guilty about enjoying parts of the twilight canon. without it you don’t even have the basis for your fun little fanon adventures/headcanons y'all love to post and daydream about so like, c'mon man

again, I have to ask: why is this mindset making a comeback??? in 2023?!????

I mean this so, so genuinely, but you are allowed to like “bad” or “shitty” things. not every piece of media you consume is going to be “perfect” or “good”. you’re allowed to indulge in some junk food media. come ON y'all! GetItTogetherEdnaMode.jpg

hiiiiiii could I pretty please get prompts for kisses that get interrupted? have a good day <333

dumplingsjinson Answer:

List of “we were just about to kiss, you asshole!” prompts 

  1. “…Oh, hi. Um, I didn’t expect you guys to be— I’ll just— I’ll show myself out.” “…You come back here, you fucking—” “[Character B’s name], calm down! It’s fine. That’s not gonna stop us, is it?” 
  2. “THERE’S AN EMERGENCY! WE NEED TO— oh, shit, the fuck did I just walk into?” Character C questions, standing by the door they had just slammed open. Character A and Character B practically bolt away from each other, cheeks flushing fifty shades of red. 
  3. Character A smoothing the pad of their thumb across Character B’s lower lip; leans in, so fucking ready to just kiss the living daylights out of them like they had always dreamed of doing, when their cat jumps onto the bed and into Character A’s lap, which startles Character A away from Character B. They both glance down at the cat, which has made a makeshift bed out of Character A’s lap, glance at each other, laugh, and then Character A’s leaning in once again when a knock sounds at the door. (Bonus: Character A, annoyed, groans and is about to remove the cat from their lap to get the door when Character B grabs them by the wrist, shouts, “Busy!”, then pulls them in and kisses them.) 
  4. The tension between them is palpable, lips inches away from each other’s. Who’s taking the risk? No one, because Character A’s younger child comes barging into the room at that moment, crying loudly. “Mummy/daddy, [sibling’s name] is being mean to me!” 
  5. The usual “We got interrupted by the fucking phone. Anyway, what do you want, [name]? I have something on right now, you piece of shit.”
  6. It’s movie night with friends. They’re sitting on the couch, their friends sitting on the floor in front of them. They’re so close. They’re looking at each other. One of them leans in, when one of their friend’s yell bloody fucking murder,startling them away from each other. “Fuck this movie! I can’t believe this!” they shout, enraged. Character A blinks, settling back onto the couch, the distance between them and Character B growing once again. 
  7. Them giggling as they lean in to kiss each other when Character C’s arm shoots out, effectively blocking their faces away from each other’s, almost smacking Character B in the process. “We have an assignment to work on, you horny fucking assholes. Take it back to your bedroom, alright?”
  8. They’re about to go in for another kiss when someone rounds the corner of the building they’re hiding behind. “So that’s where you guys were,” their friend says, sounding tired and done with their shit. 
  9. Character A about to kiss Character B when Character B places their palm over their mouth. “Wait, I need to brush my teeth,” Character B says, eliciting laughter from Character A and a slap on the butt when they hurry off the bed and to the bathroom. “Jesus, way to ruin the mood!” Character A jokes loudly.
  10. Character A telling Character B they’re not ready to kiss them at the very last second. “I’m sorry,” Character A whispers, sounding guilty. Character B leans away and smiles, shaking their head, smoothing the pad of their thumb on their cheek. “That’s fine, we’ll take this as slow as you want.”

Due to a series of “unfortunate” accidents, everyone in the city believes you are the secret identity of an up and coming supervillain. In truth you are a retired supervillain who faked their death years ago and now this upstart is going to get a taste of what true supervillainy looks like.
