I'm scared of a chimpanzee because I know it will kill me. I'm scared of an orangutan because I know it will teach me things about myself I wasn't willing to confront

EDIT: Just so there's no confusion, the first option is meant to be in reference to individuals bonding over *shared* trauma. Wish I could update the phrasing to something like "bonding over trauma" now since there is apparently a medical term of the same name that refers to abusive relationships, but polls are locked once posted...

#celsian and shadowheart were unintentionally so compatible #celsian was always treated with scrutiny and suspicion and approached the whole shar thing with a total lack of judgment #the moment when you trust shadowheart to do the right thing even after following her on her dark quest and she throws away the spear…. #chef’s kiss #so yeah it was the shared trauma in a way LMAO

grad school coping mechanism is when i’m feeling unmotivated to work on anything i start writing down everything i can think of in my lab notebook pretending like i am a wizard in a video game making notes that the player will discover in some sort of library or perhaps dungeon

as somebody who just watched the entirety of the show, s1 of 911 is really just them throwing plotlines at a wall and seeing what sticks so some ppl straight up skip it on a rewatch but i’d say it’s like v important viewing for the first time for future character development and storylines

TRULY the things that are happening to these characters right now could have all been separate season finales

the number of insane traumatic events that have already occurred in the first three episodes… yeah it’s that good old fashioned procedural soap

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

in a perfect world what character would you own a life size cardboard cutout of. you get one and I want you to answer in the tags with your heart. if you asked me right now I would say columbo

I don’t know how culture managed to make the beauty standards situation worse but I’m like so much more blackpilled about my appearance in my late 20s than I was in my teens and that’s just kind of insane

#I never thought I was attractive but it’s moved from being a sort of vague sense of unease #to feeling like yeah ok I’m repulsive and disgusting by modern standards and that’s just how it is #d

let’s say that being hot as a form of empowerment for all women could even be a thing. let’s say it’s possible to look hot for yourself and not for men. where did your idea of hotness come from? why is it important to you to look hot? who decides what’s hot? why must you change something about yourself or cover something about yourself to get hot? what makes you not hot at your most unmanicured state? why? how did you know what to do to get hot? do the people around you view hotness in the same way?

#the thing is I think it is ok to get a nose job because you couldn’t fucking take the self consciousness anymore. like it’s brutal out here

Unfortunately Buck doesn’t get likable until s2

good to know 😭 it definitely seems like he’s the type of dickhead character that can evolve over time but mannnnn the ways they chose to showcase his dickheadedness are like SPECIFICALLY actions that i find hard to forgive

#d #i can excuse womanizing but i draw the line at decapitating a snake without at LEAST feeling bad about it

[fluorescentbrains]

this is so unrealistic because the type of girls to get accidentally constricted by their pet snake are HARDCORE snake enthusiasts. realistically she should have attacked him physically for killing her snake

#brains liveblogs 911 #even if it was to save her life like this type of girl is ride or die for the snakes
