Alan Alda: What Every Woman Should Know About Men (1975)

#The title made me pause and the author made me trust #Haha #Yes maybe I read all of this with a clinical Dr. Pierce voice in my head #Alan Alda

#This would 100% happen in one of the sillier episodes #Mulder wouldn't know what to do with himself #He would be so excited but disappointed but excited #The X Files

ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP (2019)

#Sometimes celebrities are like us #lol #They WILL remember what you said #Zombieland

[twilight-deviant]

#The people who say this don't even know what they mean #Because I've seen characters do literally everything in their power (maybe even acts outside of their power) to redeem themselves #and demonstrate they are 0% of the person they used to be #and it still isn't enough #People don't want a character held accountable #They just want the character to suffer forever because they don't like them #Also they think the character should die #It's the only redemption they'll accept because now they don't have to see the character they hate anymore #People are so not normal (in a bad way) #Fandom

Welp..... This is not gonna be good for my productivity

#Oh god yes please #Obliterate my day #I hope a theater near me participates #The only bad part will be that I can't pause the theater movie and speak bts and book trivia #Tolkien #Lord of the Rings

Found this on mastodon, op said they didn’t need to be credited, normally I would give credit anyways but I don’t want them to get harassed

#I love not having to justify my ships #and I won't either #Because it's a ship and no one can make me #I will explain why I like it #but I love not having to say why it's okay and not hypocritical to purity standards actually #It really takes out any/all stress #Because this is supposed to be fun #Shipping is a pastime #Fandom #Problematique

well done

it is very childish and naive but i am still so shocked to see that so many people are just fucking outright mean

#I'm regularly baffled #You may occasionally catch me being mean #but only as a survival response to a meany already in progress #I've never understood being mean to someone doing nothing to you #Why do people want to make the world a worse place? #I'd say the cliche “Who hurt you?” but that's a scapegoat and untrue #Plenty of people who have been hurt want a better world #There's no reason to be mean #Kindness still free‚ sources find

I wish there was a way on tumblr to go through a tag in chronological order. Its nice to be able to see the latest post, but I want to see the OLDEST post, too, ya know?

#You can on someone's personal blog by putting “/chrono” after the tag #but god I would love to browse general tags chronologically #Also my dash #tumblr

I think we should write more straight relationships with 2010s TV queerbait tactics. Let that man and that woman's lives be horribly intertwined, let them take bullets for the other, let them be each other's meaning but NO KISSING. They are holding each other platonically. You're crazy for reading anything romantic into it at all tbh

#op is so big brain #This is honestly all I ask for #I want writers to make me YEARN for something I will never have #and I will thank them #Fandom

pixiv banning r18 material in the us/uk is bad. really bad

#I mean it's almost funny how US/UK politicians keep screwing over the sexually frustrated #It's horrible and ridiculous but kinda funny #Because these people you frustrate get to vote #In situations like this I think of two things: #Avenue Q's “The Internet is for Porn” song #and #Dr Cox in Scrubs “I believe if you took porn off the internet there'd only be one website left and it'd be called 'Bring Back the Porn.'” #They should ban furry porn sites just cause I wanna see how far this can go #Remember prohibition in the 1920s and how all it did was increase alcohol consumption AND crime? #I think the degenerates can do it better #Internet

Im curious.

#I have a couple of times #But usually killing a character is just the nail in the coffin #Writing became progressively worse and then they topped it with character death #One example is Agents of SHIELD #I stopped watching after they killed Ward #They yoyo-ed back and forth so much showing us he was a victim since childhood and everyone in his life used him #poisoned him #Then they said “lol get dead because fans hate you” #And I immediately stopped watching #I also never watched the god-awful Timeless wrap-up movie because I knew the writing would be bad and they'd kill Flynn #so.......... yeah #Fandom #Polls #EDIT: Oh I forgot I stopped watching Supernatural for this and it wasn't even major character death #What was it? Early S9? #And some soldiers just returned home only to get possessed by demons and then killed #Their bodies left in a place no one would ever find them #(regardless of feelings for the military‚ we don't take that out on soldiers okay?) #And Sam and Dean had become so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they said nothing/did nothing about these men who died #Meh #The complete disregard for human life from the good guys... #It was so distasteful I stopped watching SPN

rb and put in the tags a book you love that you would kill to see as a movie/show adaptation and a book you love that you hope never ever becomes a movie/show adaptation

#The answer to both of these is The Silmarillion #and a few others #I'd still like to see a good adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo #And a loyal one of The Phantom of the Opera #Also Daddy Long-Legs #Tags

You asked me to teach you chess, and I've done that. It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing. Do you know why not?

Because it was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little and everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings and pawns.

I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else. I don't envy you the decisions you're going to have to make. And one day I'll be gone, and you'll have no one to talk to. But if you remember nothing else, please remember this:

Chess is just a game. Real people aren't pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them than to others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice.

The lesson is: Anyone who looks on the world as if it were a game of chess deserves to lose.
