#this isn't a heavy list

[atopvisenyashill]

my asoiaf crack ships

Jon/Sam/Gilly i KNOW the forced baby switching makes this uncomfortable i don't care they have my heart!!

Jon/Aegon Vi listen, beyond my jokey "jon finally finds a hot single twink to smush only to find out they're brothers" take, i think given all of jon's bastard baby brother issues re: robb colliding with general targ gender & sexuality fuckery AND aegon's short fuse + raised by a proud gay dad + is dornish and they're less uptight about that shit has the ability to give me a homoerotic toxic spiral to rival visaemon and throbb and i will hold onto this until i'm dead and buried

Jon/Arianne i just want my faves to smush + "we were both in love with the same man" bicon duos are my favorites

Aegon IlI/Gaemon Palehair i know there's a wonky age difference but it's bc george is a coward and he knew if they were the same age they would have kissed on the mouth

Willas/Ellaria they bond over both being lovers of Oberyn and missing him (Willas/Oberyn isn't a crackship they're friends in canon i’m justified in having a crackship offshoot for a non canon ship alright!!!)

Baela/Cregan my opinion on the pact of ice and fire is that instead of being this vague thing where Jace's theoretical first born daughter goes North, Baela has to marry Cregan even tho the regents hate the idea of this and she winds up defying them, which gets her cut out of politics, the succession, and generally pariah-ed in the South. Then she never has a living child with Cregan after all that. It just makes way more sense to me that Cregan would want a Targ now and not in the theoretical future (plus you still have the pact thing re: the main series bc they never have a living child, and Jace doesn't actually get to crown Sara)

Black Aly/Alyn Oakenfist they both love a war crime, they're opposites aesthetically so it would look hot, plus I think "i left my culture, my religion, and my home to be with you only for you to constantly cheat on me including with your incredibly young Valyrian relative" is less aggravating and more tragic if its Black Aly instead of Baela "is vastly superior to everyone yet is constantly cheated on by her shit ass, mid lovers" Targaryen

Grey Worm/Jeyne Poole i had a dream where Grey Worm and a large band of unsullied decided to stay in the North after the war for the dawn and they fell in love due to shared history of extreme trauma and Sansa gave Jeyne away and helped Grey Worm design a coat of arms for the marriage cloak and now I’m attached to this idea.

#valyrianscrolls #getting on my soap box #this list is wildly jon heavy because he's so isolated at the wall that half his ships are kinda cracky bc he doesn't interact with ANYONE #every other ship i have i feel there is a clear canon basis for it #gaemon palehair #jon snow #samwell tarly #gilly the wildling #alyn velaryon #baela targaryen #cregan stark #aegon vi targaryen #young griff #aegon the unlucky #grey worm #jeyne poole #black aly #alysanne blackwood #i think baela can get rhaenyra-ed and still have a story that isn't so aggravating and involves close proximity #to imo the biggest bitch in the entirety of f&b and this is a book with fucking rogar baratheon in it. but alyn beats him.

Do you have any recommendations for reading older hulk stuff? I just finished Immortal

Certainly! 

I haven’t read every run, and I don’t read everything in order, but personally here’s my overall recommendations to start out with (also I’m so sorry, I’m terrible at remembering issue #s). 

For the origin:

Incredible Hulk #1-6

 Hulk Gray and the 1997 Incredible Hulk #1 (Adam Kubert and Peter David)

Hulk Mythos  

General storylines: 

Tales to Astonish (tbh, I have the first volume of Essential Incredible Hulk, it's all in black and white but it decently collects a lot)

Bill Mantlo Incredible Hulk Crossroads  

Peter Davids run (its very long, and very much a hit or miss, but it established a lot of what we know of the Hulk today) 

Paul Jenkins Hulk run (specifically the introduction of devil hulk) 

Planet Hulk and War World Hulk (super iconic, tbh preferred Planet Hulk more, but still worth a read)

Greg Paks Incredible Hulks 

My personal favorite recommendation list can be found here

I hope this all helps!

#of course if anyone wants to drop their recommendations feel free to! #also some content warnings for some of these older stories #There is a lot of heavy material that isn't always handled the best way #If anyone needs a list of those let me know

sometimes I see a call for horror short stories, with a long list of themes they DON'T want, and I go listen. I get it. go ahead and assert your boundaries. are you aware that you are asking for horror stories tho.

#no reblogs b/c this is just me being bitchy #I want to be clear this isn't like 'oh this specific magazine doesn't allow stories where an animal dies!' #I'm talking magazines that list like. Ten things that are yes very heavy/triggering topics. but are also often used in horror. for A Reason #I might just be pissy because I recently ran into the 'I thought Juniper & Thorn was cozy fantasy and then decided it's a terrible book #when I actually read it' discourse again. there are. Several reasons that book is about what it's about. come on now. #sorry. #life

why pay for a gym membership when you can go back to the countryside and move bags of concrete for FREE 😍

#my life at home is so glamorous btw #so the thing about my mum is that we have almost 2 acres of land and obviously the upkeep of that is INTENSE #but her attitude - justifiably - is 'if i can do it myself then why would i pay someone to do it?' #so me and my sister have gone our whole lives used to just helping with the chores #like that's not a big deal i really think it's a bit grim how a lot of teenagers just Dont Help with the chores #BUT my point is for me and my sister 'helping with chores' isnt just like. washing up and doing laundry lmao #like we have LAND and ANIMALS and there isn't exactly a man about the house that does all the heavy lifting #so it's my mum powered by sheer rage and stubborness telling me and my sister what to lift and where to put it #and that's just how it is like we move bricks and poles and fence panels etc etc the list goes on #literally a free work out and it's then so funny bc my friends know me to be quite lazy when it comes to activity #like i dont do any sports and i refuse to go gym with them and i like my little bed etc #BUT when put in a position where it's actually shown i will typically be stronger than my friends #including the ones paying extortionate amounts for gym memberships LMAO #like me and two of my mates did ninja warrior not long ago and one of them is a proper gym lad #and i left her in the DUST and she was acc a bit fuming about it? like it made her really insecure i was like how fucking offensive is that #like she was basically insecure bc 'how can i possibly be less fit than [my name] when she does fuck all' LMFAOOOO #i giggled #it's me and my sleeper countryside build against the corporations #BUT since coming uni it has slipped a bit bc ive gone from doing an hour of intense heavy lifting at least every? two days? ish? #to doing fuck all for weeks on end and then doing short bursts of it when i come home #so doing it today was a bit sad bc i cant lift nearly as much as i used to. like i can still lug 15kg dog food bags on my shoulder #like a little farmer boy but icl i was SWEATING today with that concrete when normally i'd do it pretty easy #so maybe i'll get more into my fitness again idk. like as lazy as i am working out does give you that little rush of endorphins #and the kind of workout i do as well gives me that very human satisfaction of simple manual labour #like truly satisfies ten generations of factory workers and farmers in my bloodline lmao they r smiling down on me #hella goes home

Scarepair Rowboat: Barolena | Bonnie Bennett x Caroline Forbes x Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)

Caroline's smiling face greets Bonnie and Elena at the door. "Who's ready for horror Halloween movie night?"

It appears to be a rhetorical question; she ushers them both inside, ignoring their protests as they nearly spill the hot chocolates that she demanded they bring. In her words, the Mystic Grill just make it better than any homemade crap.

"It's all in the chocolate sprinkles and the hazelnut syrup," she informs them before taking a long sip of the cup Elena hands her. Her eyes close in a moment of bliss and she hums contentedly. "God, it's better than sex. Or blood."

"Two things you don't ever expect to hear in a sentence together," Bonnie remarks with an amused grimace at Elena, who laughs lightly.

Disappearing into the kitchen, Caroline calls back, "There are some snacks out on the table. I don't think we decided on which movie we were going to start with so I've just gone ahead and loaded up Hocus Pocus."

Bonnie and Elena move through to the sitting room to find that they've walked into the most luxurious movie theatre. The lights are off except for a lamp in the corner giving off a gentle, ambient orange glow. The TV mounted on the wall is paused on the starting screen of the movie, and the coffee table is completely loaded with bowls of various snacks, from three different flavours of popcorn to Bonnie's favourite packet of skittles and Elena's favourite miniature cookies.

Bonnie sniffs the air with furrowed brows. She turns to Elena. "Is it just me or... does it smell like fruit in here?"

"Kind of like berries," Elena agrees.

She nudges Bonnie to sit down and follows her. Immediately, Bonnie swipes a small handful of candy corn m&m's, pressing a finger to her lips for Elena to shush her giggling.

"Hey, Care," Bonnie calls through as Elena steals one from her palm and quickly pops it in her mouth before sipping her hot chocolate. "I thought you said it was a horror movie night."

"I did." Caroline reappears in the doorway, pointing at Bonnie when she raises her eyebrows pointedly at the TV. "Hey, Hocus Pocus really scared me as a kid. I always thought I was going to get, like, abducted by witches every Halloween."

"You still might," Elena jokes, nudging Bonnie's shoulder again. She steals another m&m from her palm, popping it into her mouth with a grin.

Caroline rolls her eyes and motions for them to budge up; she slides in beside Bonnie. Lips twitching with amusement, she also swipes an m&m.

"Well, I wouldn't mind so much now," she says. "Only if it's Bonnie, though." Leaning back, she then adds, "And for the record, there are more movies lined up after this. We're just starting with something not too scary to ease us into it, and then we're going to watch Jennifer's Body, then Freddie Vs Jason, and so on."

"Oh, good choice with Jennifer's Body," Elena says.

"As long as it's anything but IT, I'm good," Bonnie says.

There's a pause. Bonnie stops mid-munch of an m&m, another one halfway to her mouth as her eyes flick back up to Caroline's wary expression.

"No," Bonnie says.

"It's fifth on the list," Caroline confesses.

"Caroline! You know I hate clowns. Remember when you tried to make me watch season four of American Horror Story and I had nightmares for two weeks?"

By her expression, it's clear that that slipped her memory, somehow.

"It was pretty bad," Elena gingerly agrees. Getting in between the two of them when they're bickering can be a pretty bad idea, and taking a side is usually even worse than when she tries to play peacekeeper.

Still, she feels a need to jump to Bonnie's defence this time; she was the one, after all, who spent those two weeks keeping herself awake until five in the morning with Bonnie because she was too scared to sleep.

"Alright, alright!" Caroline grabs her phone and taps her screen a few times. "Done. IT is no longer on the list. Which means that we'll be going from Unfriended to Coraline, which I thought would be good somewhere in the middle to sort of give us a break from all the super scary stuff."

"Sounds good to me," Elena says.

Bonnie smiles gratefully at Caroline, gently nudging her shoulder. Really, she just leans into her side. "Me, too."

balthier.... the girl almost died balthier. come on get it together man.

#this is also a call out for ME I was crying before this scene but then she was fine and balthier said that #and I switched SO FAST to giggling. he can't keep fran out of his mind. insane. get a room. or not I don't mind. who said that #this one goes to the the list of “fran hasn't said shit but balthier insists in including/complimenting/teasing her in the conversation” #for a character that talks so much he talks a lot more about her than I expected like not being prompted AT ALL #it's so cute she think's fran is foolhardy... you'd expect he would be the most reckless of the two of them but thinking abt it hes actuall #so paranoid with some stuff... makes sense why he would think her to be reckless. #maybe he was just talking abt running away from the forest but I mean he IS a sky pirate. he isn't home anymore wherever that place might b #so I don't think he would think running away is wild so idk. cute. everytime he talks abt her to others when fran is like RIGHT THERE #I get all sort of emotions. giggles. they mean so much to me. #also for more updates: i'm more obsessed with fran's VA by the day. the voice crack on “I fear.. I fear She hates” and the tone of #“a pleasant lie that.” just. man. #actually there is so much to be said about the whole “the wood is jealous of the humes who have taken you” “I am as them now” but I truly #think I got to sleep on that one to have any coherent thoughts. it's always easier talking about ships than like emotional moments like thi #but I just... man. the whole viera notion of not being part of the wood anymore is nice BUT fran saying she is part of them now? BETTER. #jote says the world with disgust but it just doesn't feel like that for fran. not of the world outside the woods but it feels so heavy how #she talks about her path being cut away from her. remember like one day ago lol when I said her and balthier have the "we've been together #for a long time“ + ”we only have had each other for a long time“? yeah. seeing her saying ”this solitude you want?“ to convince mjrn but #having her turn back and have balthier and vaan waiting her (and everyone else further back) is just....... hmmm..... them. #so obsessed about how balthier waits her longer than even vaan. he didn't talk to the vieras he was just there. and he was the last to leav #i'm putting a screenshot of that scene under read more also just bc man.................................................... family :) #also them being married but :)) family :)) #“goodbye sister” turns around and walks away with them....... MAN. HEAD IN HANDS. #I'll never stop praising xii writers with how they made fran shine so much even being like supposedly a sidekick quiet character. just. MAN #I too am just like balthier and can't keep myself from speaking about her SO JUST BC OF THAT he can brag all he want's. I would too. #kelly plays xii #kelly says #last update today I swear sorry I'm too loud again they just YOU KNOW THE LINE (make me insane) #giving myself one week to change my pfp to her. AUGHSH

#mfs asking me if I'm involved with gang shit like that's an inherent part of my cultural identity 💀 #like for a some people they're connected but not everyone #and the fact that cholo culture (idk what other word to use) isn't exclusively american either #side note that ik people use more endings than I listed but there was no way I was putting a/o/e/x on each word lmao #anyways #shit that makes white people look st you like the grim reaper when you try to explain it #It's complicated with other latine ppl too bc I'm not gonna claim to be mexican I'm not from mexico my parents weren't born there #but complicated identity words get annoying and scary to a lot of people #personally my opinion is that it's better to identify with a complicated identity than to claim something you aren't or assimilate into #something you also aren't #heavy on the assimilation part bc I'm normally not a huge fan of labels but chicano identity is very set in decolonization #sorting yourself into a country is dependent on borders #and the US/Mexico border is pretty colonial #I'm rambling #txt #chicano #chicana

society when everyone realizes akito and toya's cover of fragile fucking sucks and stops associating the song with them and embraces aun no beats as The akitoya song like THAT'S their song THAT'S the song that means the world to them both, not fragile, i hope fragile blows up, they sound like they're underwater???, stop reminding me fragile exists, it's not even a sweet song it's just miserable, help me? i think you all saw the cheek touch (i have no idea how else to describe it.) they do in the 3D MV and your brains turned off and maybe you didn't look at the lyrics because no couple in their right mind would claim . that. as Their Song, not even akito and toya

#aun no beats isn't the happiest song either but it's sweet. it's heartwarming even as it hurts. #'i held my heart up to you; give it back someday; be gentle okay?' come on. that's akitoya all over. why did fragile win out as Their song #i mean it's probably because fragile came out before aun no beats and aun no beats isn't in the english server yet blahblahblah #i think also i am just baffled at the majority of the fandom's taste in music. i see lists of the fan favorites and it's like #well guys i don't think these ones are very good . can we try again #that's not something to take personally btw i am coming into the music of this game with heavy metal as my preferred genre #and while there are plenty of songs i really really really REALLY like from prsk there's also a lot that i. don't. want to listen to. #👍🏾DNFNDNFKDFN major taste clash #(insert above image) society when colorful palette lets mafuyu's VA cover a DAZZLE VISION song btw

Btw I don't think I'm ever going to do Amano scans anymore because like every one I posted that got over 500 notes was reposted with my caption copy-pasted 1:1 verbatim and it pisses me off so I'm gonna stick to niche shit instead (well except for when I do these Queen scans anyway)

#textpost #Side eyeing my 1980s Heavy Metal mags #One of them's got a Tim Leary interview in it but he's got his dick out in the photo so idk if I can post that one #I gotta do Queen scans because I think the Sol Blog™ posting Queen scans is a real knee slapper #Is Heavy Metal still into that nft bullshit? I used to sub to their newsletter but I hate that crap so I unsubbed years ago #I should look into that. Really miss reading these things #At least nft crypo nonsense isn't in ebay listings for vintage HM so if they're still doing it... Well... Lol

♨️ Breeze Harbor Highwinds - Airship's Away! ⛵

Ah, feel that wind in your face, and the crackle of fires in your eardrum. This titan's ready for takeoff! Make sure all your things are in order and everyone's accounted for, because our next stop is the meadows of Zephyr!

#Spyro The Dragon #Ripto's Rage Soundscapes #sorry for the tone whiplash that's about to happen going from Breeze Harbor's flavour texts and Zephyr's next week #I actually did these two in reverse order from how the in-game Guidebook lists the levels #just b/c i tended to do Zephyr first when i played new files #so I did Zephyr with a heavy focus on the Active Battlefield status of the level #mostly b/c OG game's Zephyr is so. Kinda Bland And Barren Aside From That Context #that that's still what I mostly associated the level with even after finally finding out that Reignited's Zephyr has like #An Actual Tangible Theme And World Design #but then after doing all that and getting to Breeze Harbor #1. I had used pretty much all of the workable 'battlefield' sounds available on the site already #2. Breeze Harbor's enemies are just. Spraying Water as opposed to Shooting Missiles and Explosives #so there really isn't much I could do sound-wise to convey that #3. Breeze Harbor just has SOOOOOOOOO much going on in it to make audioscapes around #and not just in the context of the remakes! So I had ALL these ideas for Breeze Harbor #so much so that it literally only hit me now after Making All 5 Generators and writing the flavour text of this last one #. that i didn't make a single reference to the Land Blubber enemies' presence aside from the first generator's #flavour text + The Audience Participation Bit #Spyro Soundscapes #Spyro #Soundscapes

[alastorss]

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

Alastor's antlers are embarrassingly, pathetically, unbearably sensitive.

He can't for the life of him figure out why—it's not like any of the other transfigured creatures wandering around the underworld were made this way. Most other animal-like sinners don't seem to care about or even acknowledge their characteristics.

Yet here he is, purposefully hiding them away just so that no one will discover his terrible weakness. Oh, what he would give to be like the others if only to ignore their incessantly uncomfortable presence on his head.

Perhaps it was a curse from heaven that made him this way, or karma that he was repaying from his life. Either way, he can't stand being touched.

At least, that's what he thought.

There's no malicious intent behind your hands, no glint in your eye that makes the primal instincts in his head scream at him to melt into the shadows. You're as gentle as can be, fingers running delicately along the intricacies of his antlers and stopping just at the ends of them.

"They're beautiful," you whisper with your eyes blown wide. Your shoulders rise and fall with each rapid breath, probably from the adrenaline of standing so close to an Overlord like this. And Alastor, no less.

Your reliable hotelier. Your first real friend in the hotel. The one whose smile cannot be trusted.

But for some reason, you can't shake the feeling that he's looking at you with pure, genuine appreciation even if his smile is a little wonky.

"Why, thank you, darling!"

He jerks away from you quick as the wind, standing tall once again and towering over you. His expression has morphed into something more strained—you can tell by the way his face creases up as his eyes narrow.

He was the one who decided to invade your personal space while the two of you were arguing. He just didn't think that you would be so bold as to get distracted by his antlers and have the gall to reach out to touch them.

The worst part? The absolute worst part of it all is that no one in all the time he's been in Hell has been gentle with him like that.

Add that to the list of things he despises. Or likes. You're confusing him now.

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

You have some nerve, he thinks.

Your hands have found a new home resting atop his head, with your fingers combing through his hair and tracing up and down the curve of his antlers.

It becomes a nightly routine—him on the barstool or sitting in front of the piano and you standing behind him with your fingers tangled in his hair and your chin on his head, perched right between the horns. Others in the hotel have started to raise a brow, but you don't seem to care.

So when you finally decide to break routine, sitting on the opposite end of the couch from him, his eye twitches.

There isn't even an audience tonight, everyone else already tucked into bed save for Husk behind the bar who's too busy with a bottle to care. The silence between you is heavy as lead.

"Is something the matter?" Alastor finally abruptly asks, eyes narrowed at you from the side. You shift uncomfortably.

"Why would something be the matter?"

He's not in the mood for games right now. "This is the first time you've sat away from me in months," he observes.

You look at him, surprised by his hostility over this. "Well, Lucifer told me that you don't like—"

"Lucifer," he interrupts, head now whipping to the side so he can fully glare at you. "Knows nothing."

You blink at him, stunned. With the way he's acting, he almost seems... annoyed that you've decided to stop being so handsy?

Silence overcomes you again as you just stare at each other, completely at a loss of words. Alastor finally realizes his snappiness and composes himself once more, exhaling through his teeth.

His smile softens at you, missing its usual edge. You know him like this the best—head in your lap and antlers exposed. It's familiar to you in a way that it could never be to anyone else. At least, you hope that's true.

"He knows nothing," the radio demon says one more time for good measure, eyes drifting shut under the weight of your hands.

Alastor has never liked to be touched before. But maybe there is a first time for everything, and maybe the safety of your touch brings him enough ease that you're the first he admits he can tolerate.

His smile says it all. He's content like this, even if he would deny it with his chest if you ever told anyone else.

"Okay," you breathe. "I believe you."

AI Scraping Isn't Just Art And Fanfic

Something I haven't really seen mentioned and I think people may want to bear in mind is that while artists are the most heavily impacted by AI visual medium scraping, it's not like the machine knows or cares to differentiate between original art and a photograph of your child.

AI visual media scrapers take everything, and that includes screengrabs, photographs, and memes. Selfies, pictures of your pets and children, pictures of your home, screengrabs of images posted to other sites -- all of the comic book imagery I've posted that I screengrabbed from digital comics, images of tweets (including the icons of peoples' faces in those tweets) and instas and screengrabs from tiktoks. I've posted x-ray images of my teeth. All of that will go into the machine.

That's why, at least I think, Midjourney wants Tumblr -- after Instagram we are potentially the most image-heavy social media site, and like Instagram we tag our content, which is metadata that the scraper can use.

So even if you aren't an artist, unless you want to Glaze every image of any kind that you post, you probably want to opt out of being scraped. I'm gonna go ahead and say we've probably already been scraped anyway, so I don't think there's a ton of point in taking down your tumblr or locking down specific images, but I mean...especially if it's stuff like pictures of children or say, a fundraising photo that involves your medical data, it maybe can't hurt.

If you do want to officially opt out, which may help if there's a class-action lawsuit later, you're going to want to go to the gear in the upper-right corner on the Tumblr desktop site, select each of your blogs from the list on the right-hand side, and scroll down to "Visibility". Select "Prevent third party sharing for [username]" to flip that bad boy on.

Per notes: for the app, go to your blog (the part of the app that shows what you post) and hit the gear in the upper right, then select "visibility" and it will be the last option. If you have not updated your app, it will not appear (confirmed by me, who cannot see it on my elderly version of the app).

You don't need to do it on both desktop and mobile -- either one will opt you out -- but on the app you may need to load each of your sideblogs in turn and then go back into the gear and opt out for that blog, like how you have to go into the settings for each sideblog on desktop and do it.

Ghost ripping hacker girl away from her computer and fucking her brains out so hard she can’t get back to her desk….he won’t show it but he’s clingy and wants you in bed all day🥺

Ghost can deny all he wants but deep down he's incredibly clingy to people he cares about/loves and you just so happen to be on top of the list♡

He hates it when you have a few days off or there just isn't too much work that requires leaving your shared room and you still insist that you have to go over some data you hacked recently and you left the comfy bed or nest, how you like to call it; it's one big space with blankets, pillows and all that. Simon at first scoffed at it, saying that it's way too excessive but you insisted on it, convincing him that he needs some luxury and comfiness too and after a night full of love making in the new fluffy bedcovers and he was sold♡

Now he behaves like a lazy male lion, growling and calling you from his place in the bed, all naked and spread, calling in that rough, gravely voice of his, Manchester accent thick especially now during relax day.

Si woke up so horny and pent up for some reason, even after bruising your soft full hips and breeding you good last night and when he reached out to your side of the bed it was empty! He shot up quickly worried that you left him but...there you were, looking at him with a worried look on your pretty face and asking what's wrong; sweet little girl. His sweet girl, always so worried about him.

He called out to you, asking what you're doing but you sheepishly explained that you only wanted to go through that data and that you'll be soon there in bed with him but that didn't satisfy Simon at all :(( He wanted-no, needed you now. He was laying on his back in bed, cock hard and leaking precious cum on his belly while it should be stuffed deep in your womb, breeding you good with his baby :((

Instead there you were, clicking away on your keyboard, way too far away from the warm and comfy bed, and more important, too far away from your needy partner who needed to fill you with his sperm. So Simon took the matter into his own hands, getting up with a low gravely growl at the feeling of his cock hanging hard and leaky, full balls hanging low and making his way towards you with heavy footsteps and before you could react, suddenly Si yanked you up roughly and basically ripped your thin shorts apart before dragging you back into the bed/nest where he roughly thrusted his whole hefty cock inside in one motion, your loud scream only making Simon moan and bellow too at the feeling of your soft and hot wall squeezing down on his dick, his sensitive tip hitting your cervix.

You know that you definitely won't get any work done today or the day after but thinking again, Simon fucking you so good with you on all fours and hin behind you, thrusting into your sore pussy like a starved beast in heat is surely so much better♡

Out of curiousity, do you think most national museums are participating in the same kind of thing that the British Museum is, i.e. holding onto items that they stole in conquest / archaeological items that other nations are requesting back?

I always wonder if we should be looking at the bigger picture rather than just this one spotlighted issue (not that the spotlight isn't important in raising the issue originally).

oh goodie we're digging up stuff I wrote from 2 years ago...yay

Okay, for starters, let's look at how you've phrased your question. Currently, the heavy implication is that this is all the BM is (i.e. it only holds colonial loot and contested items), which is false. Yes, it does hold colonial loot from the British Empire. No one is disputing that. It also holds contested items such as the Parthenon Marbles and the Rosetta Stone. What it also holds are many items taken from digs where the country in question permitted them taking them, and then also gifts and other such non colonial requisitions.

Mostly, I need to stress, because as someone who's adjacent to museums this drives me insane: Framing all museum collections as Bad and only containing Bad Items from Bad Deeds doesn't give you the full picture and if you don't have the full picture you can't really address the issue of repatriation properly. It's the classic 'All or Nothing' mentality and I'm begging people to seek nuance on complex topics such as this. Also governments suck and so hearing repeated 'well museums suck because XYZ' means they're more than happy to simply defund them, which they already are doing and that's not helping stuff like repatriation either.

In short, if you're asking does any other museum have a law like BM63 (I wrote 68 in the post because...I'm bad at numbers)? Not as far as I'm aware, no. The BM is unique in that instance where the government literally created a law to prevent it from divesting of its collection.

Do other national museums hold colonial looted artefacts and contested items? Yes. Lots of them. All over the world.

Germany's Neues Museum holds the bust of Nefertiti, which is contested.

The Louvre in Paris has multiple Italian artworks that were stolen in the 1790s that Italy wants back.

The Horses of St Mark's (in Venice) were stolen from Greece by Constantine in the 1200s. (Not really all that contested but they were definitely stolen).

Yale University holds numerous items from Machu Picchu. The 1911 dig had permission from the Peruvian Government, but the items were supposed to be returned. I believe (don't quote me) that less than half were originally. They have subsequently been returned, but this is not an uncommon story.

There's a bunch of Nazi looted artworks that are in museums that need to be returned to their rightful owners.

The MET museum in the US and everything it got from Douglas Latchford (this is ongoing, with some repatriations having already happened)

The National Museum of Australia also got caught out by that guy.

To be fair, the MET Museum has a problem with looted artefacts in general from the 70s onwards as they tried to compete with the European collections and thus ended up gaining a lot of 'not properly provenanced artefacts'. There was a gold sarcophagus they returned only recently that was looted from Egypt post-2011.

The Bible Museum in the US has...stuff it shouldn't (there's a lot and I'm not listing it).

*voice dripping with derision* Whatever the Hobby Lobby is up to

I could go on!

Focusing solely on the BM is a result of a US-Centric mindset, and a pervasive anglophone bias in things people will read. (Or in other words: It's fun to shit on the Brits and most of you only read English anyway.)

This has the unfortunate effect of making it seem like the BM is only museum in the world doing this, and they're not. Not in the slightest. Many museums, national or not, will have colonial looted items if that country has, at any time in the past, waged expansionist wars against other nations, no matter how brief. If your local museum has artefacts from Not Your Country there's a good chance they were looted! Again, I stress that many many artefacts that left places like Egypt were part of agreements with the Egyptian government (called partition agreements) whereby the Egyptian government took first pick of artefacts from a dig and then the dig organisers could take the rest. This hasn't happened since UNESCO World Heritage Convention 1975, which prohibits new artefacts from leaving countries which is also why I will bonk on the head with a cardboard tube anyone who says Archaeologists/Museums are still stealing things.

So yeah, if you're looking at repatriation, you'll be much better looking at the bigger picture and understanding how all this came to be in the first place than you'll ever be making memes about the BM stealing things on the internet.

➷ PREVIEW : Your hands tremble in indignation as you snatch the taunting piece of paper from Sunghoon's grasp. The laughter and jeers coming from the group of boys in front of you ignite a fiery flush upon your cheeks, fueling a desire to strangle each and every one of them.

"Come on y/n, don't be a buzzkill, we're just joking around," Sunghoon cackles as your gaze darts swiftly across the list of names highlighted in various colors and handwritings on the page. Each name is a girl you know or someone you've heard of in passing. Your eyes stop when you come across your name highlighted in red, along with HIS name. Your ears flame red with fury and mortification as the words on the sheet finally start to make sense.

So this is a list of-

Raising your eyes, you ignore Sunghoon and meet his friend's smirk head-on. Heeseung's brow arches in a gesture of smugness as he sprawls arrogantly in his seat, manspreading like he doesn't give a single fuck about what you're holding in your hands. He isn't ashamed. With a sultry pop, he withdraws the lollipop he's been sucking on, his lips glistening with a sheen of scarlet as his tantalizing tongue traces a path over his lower lip, his gaze a dark challenge locked onto yours, sending more heat to your cheeks.

You bite your lower lip to stop it from quivering and crumple the offending sheet of paper, delivering it with a resounding smack to Heeseung's forehead, eliciting a chorus of gasps from the rest of the boys. Without pausing to witness his reaction, you pivot on your heel and stride purposefully out of the classroom, hands shaking as the damning words on the now crumpled piece of paper swirl at the forefront of your mind.
