Y'know, Ed tries so hard to get Izzy to play in "Discomfort in a Married State." He talks about the clouds and he shows off Stede's toys and trinkets. He's excited. He tries to play because he's bored and he says he's bored and he's sick of being bored.
And then Stede wakes up, is fucking thrilled to show off his closet and his things and isn't remotely frightened of Ed, and the moment Ed suggests playing dress up, he's down for it. They're two little boys who never got to play with anyone.
Of course Ed adores him. Ed wanted someone to play with.

actually while i’m here: jonathan “gotta compromise the structural integrity of my skeleton before i jump into the Crush You To Death Dimension” sims is fucking COASTING on the quality of his voice. this man impulse-murdered a coffee table with an axe because he was pissed at the eldritch being imprisoned within it and was SURPRISED when destroying the horror prison released the horrors. by season 2 he is accusing his coworkers of murder for being nice to him and is literally on a first name basis with the autonomous physical manifestation of losing your mind. he makes the most absurd possible choice at every turn and somehow STILL manages to come across as straitlaced and reasonable because he talks like if a bbc documentary voiceover was disappointed in you personally

I hope Vaggie's unhealthy obsession with making her entire life about Charlie, who she sees as a beacon of near untouchable purity and goodness, is shown to fade as their relationship becomes more healthy and equal. But I specifically want the indicator of this progress to be the heavy implication that the healthier Vaggie's perception of herself and their relationship, the nastier they fuck

Holy shit, could you imagine if David fucking Bowie was not only on Doctor Who but played one of the most over the top campy characters in the shows history in one of the greatest stories the show has ever made?
I would have killed to see this.
For reference if you haven't seen Caves of Androzani (which you should, even if you don't care about Doctor Who, it is must watch Sci-Fi), Sharez Jek is mad scientist who molded in the type of the Phantom of the Opera and is clad head to toe in leather that resembles fetish gear
I would have lost my mind over this.

It's been incredibly difficult to hear from Palestinians in Gaza, not to mention center their experiences and platform their voices. Because ever since Hamas violently kicked the Palestinian government out of Gaza in 2007, it's denied Palestinians the right to free speech.
(Here's Palestinian human rights activist Hamza Howidy sarcastically wondering why Hamas isn't stopping the theft of humanitarian aid when it had the power to arrest him for a social media post within 4 hours.)
I'm working on a series of posts of Palestinians to platform. I came across this thread from someone who used Snapchat to talk to people in Gaza, so I thought I'd post it here in the meantime.
I've seen videos of Palestinians talking about not being able to evacuate because "Hamas has closed all the roads," a video of a Palestinian telling the IDF that Hamas has a car blocking the Salah-al-Din road (the evacuation route) and is pointing guns at people and telling them to turn around. But even as someone searching for Palestinian voices and looking for information about this, I hadn't heard that Hamas had been killing civilians trying to evacuate. (And probably reporting their deaths as part of the daily total.)
I mean, just the fact that the Gaza Strip is run as a separate country from the rest of Palestine is a huge barrier for Palestinians. It's hard to be accepted as a full member of the UN when your country functionally has two or three different governments.
(Confusingly, the PLO is considered the government of Palestine internationally. Abbas is the president of both PLO and the Palestinian Authority, so it sort of works as long as nobody has an election. But the fact that Palestinians have been denied an election for 18+ years, because Abbas keeps cancelling elections and Hamas is Hamas, is also a pretty big fucking problem.)
But it's also true that a huge number of the people in the Gaza Strip, while obviously having a big problem with the Israeli government, have at least as big of a problem with Hamas.
And for all of our decades of talk about Free Palestine, in the progressive movement, we pay shockingly little attention to that.

Don't judge a book by its cover. An essay by Mew Pt. 2
Mew in his revenge era went shopping and thought, "you know what screams I'm gonna fuck you up, maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't? Floral/patterned shirts," and proceeded to buy a bunch of those.
BOOK KASIDET as MEW WITSARUT ( ONLY FRIENDS EPS. 7-12 )
Correction: I missed one outfit in ep. 6 and instead of remaking that set, I'll just post it below because it's actually the hottest Mew has looked, so I'm not even upset.

After learning about the video game "CONTROL" and watching Julia LePetit-Drawfee play it, I have amended my views on brutalist architecture.
I used to think that brutalist architecture was a completely miserable and hideous style of architecture to expect human beings to exist in or around, with absolutely no acceptable applications.
But NOW I think that brutalist architecture is a completely miserable and hideous style of architecture to expect human beings to exist in or around, which is actually quite suitable for a visually striking video game about a living building that fucking hates you and is actively trying to kill you and everyone in it. ✅ ✅ ✅
I'm being silly but tbh anyone who disagrees with me can go ahead and spend 10 years commuting in the dingy gray concrete brutalist dimness of the DC metro system and then fucking get back to me.

I did not have Cute Hermit Crabs on my Star Wars bingo sheet. Nor did I have Cute Dog-Bat-Horse animal on my list of "Animals Lucasfilm Needs to Genetically Engineer Into Existence" but it is now top of my list.

'chuuya is eva pilot coded' Bestie, say more
Well, if i list it out
He's extremely traumatized and doesn't process/express his emotions in a particularly healthy way
He's a child soldier/victim of war. His entire life basically revolves around his ability to be a weapon
Very invested in their sinister boss's opinions
The whole human experimentation + cloning + all sorts of body horror surrounding his backstory
Hosts apocalyptic power and is like a mental breakdown away from losing control of it
Bro is literally Asuka. Its like. Not funny
Fucked up family situation
Doesn't get the chance to have a normal childhood, or life really.
The child soldier/former human experiment thing is what really makes him eva pilot coded as opposed any other mentally ill anime teenager.
SO if you stuck Chuuya inside an Evangelion unit, he'd be swinging between the extremes of making it function scarily well or going into a berserker state. But I don't think he'd be the one to cause an Impact, that would be Dazai who is. Shinji coded
