Look, “Little Drummer Boy” is a cute song, I grant you, but just imagine being Mary, having just had a baby in a STABLE, and some little punk is like “As my gift to you here is a bitchin drum solo that I wrote myself, enjoy” and just BARUMPABUMBUMS all up in your space.
I am a single issue voter anymore. If you support Israel in literally any way shape or form I will not vote for you. I do not care about literally anything else anymore. How can anyone see this and ignore it.
using my therapist card here so people listen to say that watching porn and masturbating are both completely normal and healthy things to do regularly. sex-negativity is not a healthy response to the nuance surrounding women’s exploitation—and saying all SW is bad is bullshit.
I think the beauty of X-Men is that writers can take these characters in bold and fresh directions.

@bryndensraven My big theory is that they are saving Eloise for final season because that’s the biggest emotional catharsis and the best arc over the entire show, if we end with the character who was so adamantly against it in the first season. I don’t think they want to end on H or G.
Listen I know there's a sushi date in the movie so the general restaurant premise is fine but can we all agree that Mike and Sulley's Flavors of Asia is an insane name for this restaurant
the reason i can’t stand fantasy reader spaces anymore is the constant disregard of prose and the emphasis on plot, world building and “magic system”, as if those are not arranged together by technique and literary devices. they are defensive about literary criticism to a fault
