So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

"It hurt to lose to Ronald Reagan. But after the election, I tried to make the transition as smooth as possible. Later, from my experience in trying to brief him on matters of supreme importance, I was very disturbed at his lack of interest. The issues were the 15 or 20 most important subjects that I as President could possibly pass on to him. His only reaction of substance was to express admiration for the political circumstances in South Korea that let President Park close all the colleges and draft all the demonstrators. That was the only issue on which he came alive."

-- Former President Jimmy Carter, on losing the 1980 election and the transition leading to the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, interview with TIME Magazine, October 11, 1982.

me, every time: Sometimes I get too caught up in trying to be ‘clever’ or get so deep in world-building that I forget about the actual plot and characters. So y’know what, I’m just gonna do something silly and self-indulgent this time. I’m just gonna write a BL about a wolfboy and his effeminate scholarly boyfriend.

me, every time, 1 hour later: oh I’m definitely making a world map for this

me, every time, 2 hours later: the tapestry represents a beautiful but impossible fantasy that we can go back in time to undo the terrible things that happened to us. But while the master-weaver was designing it, she was so absorbed in this image of ‘what could have been,’ imagining her lost husband, that she struggles to take care of her son, who…

Irish, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic speakers, I need your help! 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

For a piece of academic writing I am working on right now, I was wondering if in the context of those three languages, you have positive or negative examples of:

1) The presence of non-standard dialects digitally or in the media (any content creator you know, any regular speakers on the radio that actively uses a non-standard dialect, or on the contrary, you only encounter standard Irish/Welsh/Gaelic. If you have any example of non-standard writing too, for example in the printed press, I am all ears)

2) Do you speak and/or write a non-standard dialect and have been looked down upon for it by other speakers? If yes what dialect and in what context

3) What do you think about purification practices in which loan-words from English are replaced by new words? Which words do you use? If you study the language formally, which are taught to you?

Thank you, and please reblog!

I think the best thing about Amok Time is that it is canon that satisfying the Pon Farr is equivalent to marriage on Vulcan. Usually this is done with sex, and since T’Pring challenged the winner would have gotten to marry her via sex while the loser would have been dead…

but since Jim didn’t die, spock satisfied his Pon Farr with him, AND he did no frickle frackle with T’Pring, for all intents and purposes, Jim and Spock are canonically married by Vulcan law.

And idk I just picture that the next time T’Pau calls spock she’s just like “and how fares your husband” and spock is just like “hold up what husband.”

T’Pau: “your husband. James Kirk.”

Spock: “gRANDMOTHER THE CAPTAIN IS NOT MY HUSBAND. YOU ARE MIXING UP THE ENGLISH WORDS AGAIN.”

T’Pau: “You rolled with him in the sands and did not die. He lives and therefore he is your husband. You rOLLED WITH HIM IN THE SACRED SANDS GRANDSON. Also your father and mother believe he is. Your mother has knitted him sweaters.”

You may now collect your imaginary points!

Who wants to guess what fic I'll update next because I've been opening and closing so many WIPs today, I don't even know if I could list them all in a poll. I did though, obviously, cause I like to see if public opinion will sway the muses.

I would just like you all to know that I refer to them as Team Queens in my head. Whether I'm shipping or not, Nyra and Alicent getting to be on the same side is always my favorite. All the ladies deserved better and these two would have been utterly unstoppable if they'd be united rather than competing.

Fun fact: you can like both Alicent and Rhaenyra. You don’t have to put them against each other just because the narrative does.

“But alicent did this” “but Rhaenyra” they would not have had to do those things if the men in their lives weren’t constantly pitting them against each other.

It is very much possible to be team women and say fuck you to the men who caused all these problems in the first place.

Aegon isn't sure what's going on, but he's never had this many orgasms. Or been this sexually frustrated. It becomes quickly obvious when he and Jace cross swords in the training yard.

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Aegon III Targaryen/Jaehaera Targaryen Characters: Jaehaera Targaryen, Morghul | Jaehaera Targaryen's Dragon, Shrykos | Jaehaerys Targaryen's Dragon, Aegon III Targaryen Additional Tags: Slow Burn, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Jaehaera Targaryen Lives, Post-The Dance of the Dragons | Aegon II Targaryen v. Rhaenyra Targaryen Era, Arranged Marriage, Muteness, Angst, Eventual Happy Ending Summary:

Some of the dragons live. Jaehaera too. Which just makes everything even more complicated for Aegon as he nears the end of his regency. Especially as his regents and the Small Council grow more anxious for the two of them to produce an heir.

Rating will likely eventually go up to M and tags will update as I go. No sexual activity planned until the characters are older. 💚

I lack willpower. No one is less shocked than me.
