the weed dispensaries should ask if you would like to round up your purchase to donate to PBS. and if you say yes you get to scan a QR code that gives you 30-day free access to the full run of antiques roadshow. this is how drugs can win the war on drugs again.
when I first started 9-1-1, it was after being inundated with gifsets and even a few theories here on tumblr. my knowledge amounted to: although I couldn't tell the three white-passing boys apart, I knew they had some kind of in-show tension, and at least some of it was gay canon. yay! I was also positive i knew some echoes of the future storylines, and one I was so sure of, was that, at some point, buck had gone to work for another station. I had no idea if it was permanent, if that storyline was still going, if he did it for bad blood or opportunity or what, I just knew it was coming. I had such absolute dread the closer I got to catching up. where was it?? is he still gone???? but he belongs here!!!! I can't have him be gone!!!! this is the buck buckley show!!!! the 118 didn't become the 118 until buck brought too much heart and not enough self-preservation, you know????
all this is to say, when I got up to speed, at the end of 8a, I sat there in relief, and a not-insignificant amount of puzzlement. It confirmed to me how much I really couldn't tell the white/lightskinned men apart on the show, and that I didn't really know anything beforehand, just jumbled spoilers
however, when Buck suggested jumping ship, end of 8b, I was excited. my dream, my ghostly premonition, I was prepared for this eventuality. and of course, he'd return, triumphant, but I was greedy for the drama of him actually giving up on the team
alas, twas not meant to be, but I still dream
imo the current Epstein chapter is shocking for one reason: This is what is making MAGA question their leader. This is what is making them feel "gaslit," "betrayed." It's his pussyfooting around a salacious pervert conspiracy, the details of which have been public for years. Trump and the Clintons have been implicated as friends with this guy for years. But somehow, the final straw is Trump berating his supporters for wanting to see those details he's teased for ages, the details that prove the elites are all evil perverts in league with each other (*never mind that he's very publicly been one of them for decades).
hate that like every iteration of zelda is skinny. put some meat on her bones hylia is literally fat

To me the most fun part about fix-its is placing dominoes.
Tragedies often consist of escalating series of actions and circumstances which, in isolation, were not clearly leading to the tragic end but form a chain of cause-and-effect directly towards it in hindsight. In equal but opposite fashion, I love starting with small inoccuous changes to canon that in themselves do not obviously fix everything but start a new chain that leads to a better ending.
It's kind of impossible for fix-its to feel fully natural– the reader by definition knows what the original ending was and that this ending will be happier because the writer wants it to be– but it is possible for them to not feel contrived. A big deus-ex-machina, or a character breaking with their pre-established tragic flaws to suddenly make all the "correct" decisions almost always feels unsatisfying to me.
But a few carefully placed small domino pieces slowly knocking over bigger and bigger tiles until the entire story has radically changed? That's a lot more fun.
It recquires the author to both correctly identify the original chain of cause-and-effect and understand the characters well enough to know how they'd react to different circumstances. Because if the story feels like it's fixing the wrong problem or the characters don't act like themselves the magic is lost. But when it works? When it clicks and the reader sees the domino chain laid out in front of them? It's beautiful.

some snack food just comes like, pre-chewed. like it's got crumbs of strong bonded food, with weak bonds between the crumbs. the primary example here is Pringles, followed by Cheetos. you may also see this in like, puffed rice or fake popcorn. anyway I just got the strangest sweet milk rice cracker from the Korean store down the street. and it was certainly of the pre-chewed variety. tasty, melt-in-your-mouth, but... it did feel like I didn't have to work as hard as I thought I would
Ok, so follow me here
The lizard assassin is fucking the twink doctor, and the twink Doctor is fucking that cool Irish dude who supports unions (based). The twink Doctor is ALSO fucking an android but that’s the other show
The union man is married a schoolteacher (based) who is helping their wife’s planet ecologically recover from a fascist occupation, because she’s awesome
Their wife is an anti fascist freedom fighter (based) and the biggest lesbian you’ve ever seen. The union guy is like, an exception. And so is her goo boyfriend. Goo boyfriend might enemies to lovers-ing the local bar owner. AND she’s dating two different women hosting the same worm (bad news about the tall one) and they’re both madly in love with their wife from a previous lifetime. The tall one I s also fucking that dude with the funky sword and two dicks. They’re married, actually.
The short worm girl and the terrorist (based) are both dating this girl who works slot machines who helps her husband start a union (based). She and her husband later become the leaders of an entire government and pass pro worker and feminist reforms (based)
The terrorist (based) also has a complicated toxic yuri situationship with her kinky evil dominatrix alternate universe self who is a dictator (god forbid women have hobbies)
In the alternate universe the short worm girl is a goth and married to the slot machines girl who’s a freedom fighter. The tall worm girl is in a throuple with the twink Doctor but he’s not a doctor he’s an asshole and the captain who in the main universe is everybody’s dad.
He is the best dad in the multiverse and cooks a mean jumbalaya. This is vital information
He has a cool space trucker wife and a son who’s a writer and best friends with the son of the alien labor union spouses. Dad might be doing an enemies to lovers thing with this theater kid who betrayed him
There’s also this creepy lizard nazi who comes by every once in a while to pester them. He’s the worst.
His daughter however is the most precious soul in the world and she was taken too soon
Superman (2025) // The Boys (2019 - )
What's great about the new Superman is how it is a pointed refutation of all these evil supermen (Homelander, Omni Man and especially the snyderverse supes).
This movie says superman is GOOD because he loves being a part of humanity. He is GOOD because he was raised to care about his fellow humans. He is GOOD because he makes the choice everyday to help as much as he can, just for the sake of it. He has so much power and a weaker man would wield it it monstrously, anyone could in his position, but Superman chooses GOOD.
I'm going to *remembers suicide jokes are detrimental to my mental health* quit my job and start making shoes for American Girl Dolls
