Taliesin on 4SD: "Orym is the only one in this group with a working moral compass."

Ashton: Never take copper. You take gold regardless, and silver if they're an asshole, but you never take copper.

Ashton: It doesn't matter if the Ruby Vanguard are making good points about the gods. They're hurting innocent people to get what they want, and that's reason enough to stop them.

Ashton: *is super apologetic and upset that they have to knock out Elder Barthie to protect him from being discovered by the Imperium*

Ashton: Remember that we're here as guests. We are going to follow the instructions of the people who have already figured out what they need.

Me: *side-eyeing Ashton real hard* Orym’s the only one with a working moral compass? Mm'kay. 🤨

and at the end of the day, people will still hate women.

because beyonce is a terrible songwriter who has a good body and nothing more and she's really nothing compared to olivia rodrigo, that stuck-up bitch who steals other people's music, but taylor swift is an old, bitter nothing who clearly hates other girls. and sabrina carpenter deserves to die because she followed her heart, not her brain, and that's exactly why zendaya will never be good enough for tom holland. don't forget about kylie jenner, who's stealing precious timothee's innocence away and dating her is like committing arthouse cinema suicide, or how we said the same thing about miley cyrus and her disgusting profanity, think of the children, poor liam hemsworth, trapped in a marriage with such a horrible woman. lana del rey was hot until she was big and she made trailerpark sexy until her ass got a little too fat. and ariana grande, talentless homewrecker, and selena gomez, jealous and unreasonable, and hailey bieber, even more boring than the blood drying on the knives you are so quick to pull. sophie turner is a bad mom and megan thee stallion deserved whatever was coming to her.

and amidst all of this, we still don't know these women. we cannot fathom the pain of having a public divorce, one where people choose sides and hurl insults at you until the battery on their phone dies. we don't watch them chase after sweet-cheeked children in tucked-away backyards or play board games with their best friends while their chests heave in laughter. we don't know their marriages and we don't know their solitudes. we don't watch them unravel themselves, time and time again, preparing for the battle that we have made of their lives. they can never make a mistake. they can never cry. they can never be who they believe themselves to be.

and we take all of this and we go to work, we ride the bus, we go grocery shopping, we walk in dappled sunlight, and we let ourselves shrivel. i compare myself to every body i see and i comfort in the fact that i can still encircle my wrists with my fingers. food turns to dust in my mouth when i think about the fact that taylor swift thinks she's fat and people still hate sabrina carpenter for sticking by joshua bassett's side when he almost died, for God's sake, and now the people on my twitter feed are saying GUTS is the worst album they've ever heard. i liked it, the tiny voice in my head cries out. she wrote songs that made me feel noticed. they're calling the song i relate to the most a total skip.

so i close the app. i try not to think about the endless profiles screaming about how much they hate a nineteen/thirty-two/thirty-eight/twenty-three/twenty-six/forty-two year old. i try not to think about how much they would hate me, if they knew anything at all.

#this isn't necessarily in defense of the mentioned women #twitter has just been so disgusting in the past week #and everything written in italics is either a direct quote or paraphrased from twitter so that's awesome #so. yeah #what does this mean you ask #i don't know i respond #olivia rodrigo #beyonce #taylor swift #kylie jenner #sabrina carpenter #lana del rey #zendaya #miley cyrus #ariana grande #selena gomez #sophie turner #megan thee stallion

Things Papa said at the Ritual last night that made me lose it

(About Nihil) "He was a better saxophone player than a father, I can tell you that much."

"But unfortunately, nothing can ever last forever. So here is a song to say goodbye." Proceeds to play Respite (I cried)

"I've always wanted to find a place to belong, and I feel like this–here–is where I belong. You should belong here too." (I also cried)

Supernatural + Why didn't he say it back? He's been saying it back for years. 6.20 The Man Who Knew Too Much, 8.17 Goodbye Stranger, 11.18 Hell's Angel, 15.09 The Trap, 15.18 Despair (companion piece)

Doubles as a present for @thegeekyturtlegirl who wondered about a Dean version.

“Please do not tell me that you woke up on this ship with no ability to leave or call for help, took a look at the computer system whose operations are responsible for keeping us all alive, and decided to name it after the Allied Mastercomputer.”

“Okay."

“Did you name Amy after the Allied Mastercomputer?”

“You just asked me not to tell you, so-”

[emyn-arnens]

A moment of appreciation for Frodo, who

accepts guardianship of the Ring, no matter what it may do to him

undertakes the journey to Rivendell because he knows that as long as the Ring is in his possession, he is a danger to the Shire and everyone he cares about

believes that he will not return from his journey like Bilbo did

wonders where he will find his courage when he needs it

wishes to not take his friends with him into peril and wants to shoulder the burden alone and prevent his friends from suffering with him

hides the pain he feels from the Witch-king's wound from his friends so that he does not worry them

steps forward to take the Ring to Mordor even though he is filled with dread and does not know the way

plans at Amon Hen to go alone to Mordor so that he does not endanger the fellowship further

perseveres on the journey to Mordor, even though the weight of the Ring increases until he feels as if it is dragging him down

pushes forward even though every step toward Mordor he struggles against the power of Sauron’s will and feels it laying bare everything around him

presses through his despair because he must complete his task

feels the presence of the Ring in his mind at all times during the trek across Mordor

believes he will die before ever reaching Mount Doom but is resolved to continue as long as he can, though he has no hope left that he will succeed

never recovers from the Witch-king's wound and falls ill each anniversary of the night on Weathertop and each anniversary of the Ring's destruction

returns to the Shire but cannot find rest or healing there because he has been too deeply changed by his journey and by the torment and wounds he has suffered

#lotr #frodo baggins #my notes have been a mess the whole week of people saying that sam did everything and he got the job done and he's the real hero #and saying that frodo is useless #so this is the result of having to look at that crap all week #these are all paraphrases of frodo's thoughts and quotes btw #except for the last two which are summaries of several different quotes combined #.txt

Damian: What do you do when you feel like giving up? Like life isn't worth fighting anymore? That you lost hope and faith in what you used to believe so strongly

Jason: ... Hope is the last thing you lose, as they say. Have hope that we're gonna live through everything that is thrown at us

Damian, lost in thought: ...

Jason: Even if it is despite God's will *looks at the sky while waving a fist* GOD, I SHALL CHALLENGE YOU!

Damian: *perks up* Now that's the spirit! *leaves all pumped up*

Dick, coming out of his hiding: That was so nice, Jaybird. Do you actually believe all that?

Jason: Eh, 50/50

The best part of the theme restaurant boom of the 90s is that the downfall of most of them was their total apathy to the food. It's really something to read a interview about people investing hundreds of millions into a chain of restaurants, where they care deeply about the Hollywood props and themes on display, and then it comes to what people will eat in them & they shrug and say they're "not a food guy"

#tbh not caring about repeat business is fine if it's just a tourist thing #but they all wanted to be like. national chains with stores everywhere #food #1990s #that's a paraphrase of a quote about Planet Hollywood but I can't find it now

[cocaptainsinlove]

The love was there. It didn't change anything. It didn't save our show. There were just too many forces against it. But it still matters that the love was there.

So there she is… Light and shadow. Nobility and the mortality of death.

Pixlriffs said “gold leaf” then I think I blacked out? But when I came to a couple hours later I had this in front of me. Crazy how that just happens sometimes

Also I think it’s funny that for someone so obsessed with putting gold leaf on everything, I decided to focus on everything else—but like, while I know there’s gonna be more buildings constructed around it, for now I love the vibe of this forgotten, worn away statue against an empty landscape!! The honoured dead were buried here to preserve their legacy, and nothing beside remains. Man it makes me feel things

I just realized this was the first time I’ve experienced a main storyline CR character death at the same time as the rest of the fandom. I had to mourn Molly like 3 years after live watchers. And Vax longer than that. What do we do, kids, what’s the protocol?

thinking about book cerise/raven again and the way it converted me completely in the span of like 300 pages. listen. listen. it's about cerise trusting raven with her biggest secret. it's about raven coming to cerise for help about her now uncertain destiny. it's about cerise letting raven in and becoming her friend despite her need for secrecy and solitude. it's about raven inspiring cerise to be proud of who she is, simply by showing her that they all have a choice. it's about cerise outing herself to save raven. it's about raven fighting smarter than all the hoods and wolfs combined to help cerise win the right to choose her fate. it's about cerise coming out of her shell and welcoming friendship and camaraderie because of raven's efforts. it's about raven being afraid and unsure in a dangerous place doing dangerous things, and wishing she were wrapped up in cerise's cloak instead, to ward all the bad things away. it's about

#ever after high #it's about literally being a wolf and a raven!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #cerise hood #raven queen #girl what is your shipname #that last bit is paraphrased but otherwise completely unaltered canon prose by the way. cerise is mentioned once (1) in the legend of #shadow high and it is in raven's inner monologue. to quote: ''raven imagines [the good hopeful feeling] is like cerise's warm hood and cloa #protecting her as she walks through a forest of fog.'' and ''not exactly the big bad wolf but all the same raven wishes for cerise's red #cloak.'' #taking shannon hale by the shoulders what did you mean by this #they banter and they laugh and they text in class and wink at each other and put their lives on the line for each other and hug each #other goodbye see you at school tomorrow. raven has seen cerise's baby pictures. do you understand why they make me crazy #mine
