All this about not getting to see John Lennon on twitter but I think the real tragedy is that Freddie Mercury never had an instagram

Columbia is unhousing students of color after suspending them:

the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.

there's a lot of fic where ed and stede are at the inn for a couple weeks, maybe a month or two, and then one day ed's just like "hey stede did you know after you left izzy told me he wished he'd let the english kill me? actually he was emotionally abusive to me for years, it was really fucked up," and he tells the whole story and how he felt about it and it's very cathartic, i love that shit, don't get me wrong here.

but personally i tend to think that's assuming an ed who's too quick to get to the point of recognizing what was fucked up about his relationship with izzy. at the end of the season he understands that izzy hurt him, but he hasn't really internalized yet that he didn't deserve to be treated that way by someone who was supposed to be on his side, let alone that the fact that he eventually retaliated with violence doesn't change that; he thinks izzy was a dick but also that it's kind of his own fault for being unlovable enough to inspire that kind of treatment from people, he doesn't really understand that he could have expected better from people who claimed to care about him. when izzy apologizes for treating ed terribly for years ed's only response is to claim he should be the one apologizing. his own guilt about how he treated izzy is going to make it impossible for him to see anything wrong with how izzy treated him for a long while.

it's going to be a long healing process as he gets used to what an actual positive relationship with someone who treats him like a person is like, and that's sad and sweet. but also kind of funny because you know who absolutely does not have any sort of complicated emotions like that getting in the way of understanding the situation between ed and izzy? stede doesn't.

inevitably once they're living together stede and ed are going to start talking about their respective backstories before meeting each other. and izzy will naturally feature in a lot of ed's stories. and one day ed is going to be talking about a raid from years ago and casually mention how he did something izzy didn't approve of and izzy said something insanely horrible that poked him right in the trauma on purpose and then he'll notice stede staring at him in horror and ask what's wrong. and stede will very cautiously be like "well edward of course we both miss izzy very much. but. have you considered that he could have not talked to you like that," and ed will be like "oh, well, that's just izzy, you know how he was, he didn't really mean it like that. anyway as i was saying we had all this loot," and meanwhile poor stede just has to act like he's paying attention to the rest of this conversation while trying as hard as he can to incinerate izzy's coffin with his mind

Rough estimate: It's possible to reach 1000 boops in less than 2 hours (took me 1:30h), if you got some people to spam it to.

If you are a blog where people can spam boop's to, reblog this.

I know multiple people have probably brought this up before but it makes me a little insane that Ed’s hair is down when he’s sitting on Stede’s bed in ep 6 and I need to know who did that. Was it him? Or did Stede undo his hair? Was it gentle and tender? Did he run his fingers though Ed’s hair before going to close the curtains???? I NEED TO KNOW

Just imagine how lovely it's going to be for Ed and Stede to get to build a home together, truly free for the first time to just do what makes them happy.

Their home will be one where there's never any yelling. Even when they have little spats and disagreements, they're going to know they're loved and safe. They've been through so much. Trivial disagreements aren't going to get in the way.

They'll be so gentle with each other. Loving hands and soothing words and tender kisses - they won't chase away the memories of harshness, but they'll soften them.

They'll take every opportunity to adore each other. They both thrive with compliments and praise. Ed loves feeling treasured and being taken care of, and Stede loves feeling valued and being trusted to take care of him.

Ed will patiently teach Stede how to take care of his hair, and brushing and styling Ed's hair will become a grounding before-bed routine for both of them.

They'll get to figure out their style. Stede will try his practical, low-cut shirts with the stockings that hug his calves and the heels. Ed will get to experiment with dresses and skirts and frilly blouses. No one will ever tell them what they have to wear again.

They're going to go overboard with decorating. Two chandeliers in every room, a full library, animal-print throws that Stede secretly finds a bit tacky but he chooses to love because of how much Ed loves them...

It'll make Ed so happy, to bake pies and paint walls and write lovely letters of his own and see the proof that his hands are capable of putting such good into the world

And it'll make Stede feel valued and useful and treasured, when he chops wood and fixes doors and grows a nice little garden and has Ed cheering him on every step of the way

Just. Them getting to build a happy life together, supporting each other and loving each other with all they've got.
