consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?
consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.

the BEST new pokémon in gen 9 btw are these two sanrio reject ass mice that count as one pokemon together
but they they silently evolve from level 25+ into the exact same two mice but now they have 1 or 2 kids with them. literally you open your party to discover that these two mice FUCKED in their pokeball and have now sprung their kid(s) on you

I've wished so many times for you to reach out to me. For you to write to me, expressing that you've missed me too. That you've often thought of me, recalling everything we've experienced and endured together. And even today, there's nothing I long for more. I still miss you.
— r.r.

actually can we stop talking about “deserve” when it comes to characters dying in fiction. not everything is a fable with a moral lesson to be learned. romeo and juliet didn’t “deserve” to die. bambi’s mom didn’t “deserve” to die. izzy dying in the finale doesn’t mean ofmd is saying that certain types of queer people “deserve” to die. fictional death can serve more narrative purposes than just punishment for the character doing the dying.

one thing that i think really proves we only see eddie through buck's pov in this ep is that it's the first time basically ever???? we've seen eddie more or less ignore buck???? like, eddie. the same eddie who is so attentive and so attuned to buck's every goddamn micro expression that he knows what's wrong with buck even before buck does sometimes. the same eddie who has a laundry list of lines across multiple seasons that highlight the way he always know what buck is thinking and feeling. and tommy even confirms that at the end of the ep when buck asks if eddie's mad and instead he says that eddie feels bad bc he knows why buck is upset, bc he knows better than anyone about buck's abandonment issues and his possessiveness over his family. the reason it looks like eddie is ignoring buck is because buck feels like eddie's ignoring him and honestly it is So Interesting to get that insight into buck's head

i just read about the "narcissism of small differences," aka the idea that the more a community has in common, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and mutual ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences perceived in each other, and i knew there was a reason my time in academia and fandom felt oddly similar lmao

From my pov, every woman's love language revolves around not needing to ask.

I’m so big on the phrase ‘just say that’ because honestly that’s all you have to do, just say it.

Mirage wants to try some of those tender, loving head touches Charlie and Bee do all the time. He's a little too enthusiastic.
