we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

#gasp is more likely than shriek but probably more of a 'huh' #haven't really come across corpses *unexpectedly* i have however been confronted with corpses on more than one occasion #and they really aren't that shocking they're just bodies #so probably a 'huh' a check for sings of death and a call to the ambulance or cops depending on how that check turned out #polls

oh my god season four of leverage is fucking DIABOLICAL. how the fuck are you gonna open with the long way down job, and then hit with the van gogh job carnival job AND the grave danger job in just the first half ??? i swear to god i was shaking out of my skin all through the second half of the grave danger job. and where is aldis hodge’s oscar ??? the shaky voice the constant tears the frantic ripping at the inside of the coffin ?? i was literally holding my phone at arm’s length trying not to cry for him i swear.

i have to appreciate the directors here because i think they did a fantastic job focusing on harrison’s situation and really emphasizing the peril and dread the whole team was working through. the fevered search of the city, the awful moment when parker and sophie have to abandon their shovels and duck for cover, and harrison is left panicked and alone— that shit HURT y’all. it HURT. (i will say that the way the coffin was apparently uncovered off screen was a bit off— they only got a few shovels in before the guy started shooting, i thought, but oh well)

and obviously the hugging at the end. fuck kissing on screen hugging is where it’s at. eliot literally diving over gravestones to get to the coffin and pull hardison out and then clutching him like he’s trying to absorb the poor guy into his bloodstream ??? i will simply never be the same. and the perfect touch of beth riesgraf looking absolutely fucking devastated before turning away because she’s so so so wrecked about this but she’s not ready for that hug…. leverage writers need to square up because that was one fucked up episode and it also delivered on every characterization front ever. leverage is the gift that fucking giving y’all

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

Klette's "Immerhin hab ich ja die hübscheste Begleitung die man sich vorstellen kann", während Nerv im Kleid neben ihr her rennt, ist so funny aber wie sie dann auf einmal Vanessa sieht und nur "Vergiss es. Ich nehme alles zurück. Ich heul gleich den Mond an." Sagt is halt schon nen nood

this is a total normal thing for ANOTHER COUNTRY'S foreign intelligence agency front to say to American university students who are peacefully demonstrating against the genocide and oppression of Palestinians

"rest in power" is for black people who have lost their lives to antiblack violence. we shouldnt have to keep saying this and you all shouldnt keep ignoring us.

When you finally won the battle of opening up your WIP to edit but your brain is fighting you on touching the document so you’re in paralysis like

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

what they dont tell you about adulthood is that it’s startlingly easy to go long periods of time without having any fun at all not even a little bit. btw this causes ur brain to try to kill you with knives and hammers.

PSA that has been given 100 times already but needs to be said again:

The reason you, gen Z queers, need to be kink positive isn't because you support those kinks. It is okay to be disgusted by them, actually.

The reason you need to support kinksters is because "these kinks are disgusting" is the framework the alt-right is using and will continue to use to outlaw you. They don't think you're any different from the guys at Pride in leather puppy suits. They think your ENTIRE EXISTENCE is sexual. They think you holding hands with someone of the same gender, or existing as a trans person at all, is the same as a straight couple playing tonsil hockey in public.

YOU ARE A FETISH TO THEM. That is all you will ever be to the alt-right. They will never see you as human. When they talk about "our children being exposed to sexual perversion" they don't mean BDSM like you think they do. They mean YOU.

The only way to preserve your own existence is to fight for the right of kink to exist, because the instant kink becomes taboo or outlawed again*, rest assured, the alt-right will become MUCH more transparent about just what they think about your existence.

When you harp on about disgusting kinks and how they need to be hidden or outlawed and how they're harmful and everyone who does them is (insert thing here), you are giving the alt-right the tools they will use to imprison you as soon as they have unchecked power to do so.

THAT is why kinksters have been part of the queer community, part of Pride, from the start. Because the only way to keep our community safe is by truly ensuring everyone has unlimited sexual autonomy so long as the activity is taking place between consenting adults. It's just like how abortion-related laws are the lynchpin for all manner of medical autonomy laws.

The queer community can't stand without kinksters and vice versa. Even if you yourself aren't a kinkster and find them disgusting, like it or not, that is just how it is.

*Sodomy was illegal in Texas until 2003 and the law is still on the books, just not allowed to be enforced thanks to Lawrence v Texas, which SCOTUS has said they have an interest in striking down

gym fic for the WIP Game please?

[WIP Wednesday]

Selbstverständlich hing das einzige andere Vorhängeschloss an einem der Spinde nur drei Türen neben dem von Justus. Er gab sich alle Mühe, nicht darüber nachzudenken - nicht über Cotta draußen im Zirkel, die Muskeln, die sich unter der Haut bewegten, die Füße weit auseinander gesetzt, sodass sich jemand ohne Probleme dazwischen knien könnte, und nicht darüber, ob er sich hier vielleicht umziehen würde, wie er ohne das T-Shirt aussehen würde - und konzentrierte sich auf sich selbst. Streifte schnell die Sportkleidung ab, wickelte sich das Handtuch um die ging in den Duschraum hinüber.

#thanks! #ask #aparticularbandit #gym fic #wie man sieht gelingt es justus wirklich ganz hervorragend nicht über cotta nachzudenken #currently having a minor dilemma but don't wanna mention it because if i do everyone who reads the finished fic will be looking for it #alright i think this was the last of the asks

the perfect part about it is: it's all that i've for the WiP Wednesday game, please!

Das Display verriet ihm, dass es ein Anruf von Bob war – umso willkommener also.

Schnell ging er ran. „Hallo, Bob!“

„Hey, Peter“, erwiderte Bob, „Ich wollte bloß kurz Bescheid geben, dass wir wieder in L.A. gelandet sind. Wenigstens beim Rückflug hat alles reibungslos geklappt.“

#thanks! #wip wednesday #ask #whimsicalmeerkat #the perfect part about it #found a way to get bob & justus some screen time too!
