When you’ve been cooking for long enough, you stop making recipes and start making “shit in a skillet” and “whatever soup”

oh! Also I should take this opportunity to air my crack theory about Night Watch, to wit: Ned Coates is a time-traveling grown-up Young Sam.

My evidence: 

Ned is the only other Watchman who is new to the squad, and new to Ankh-Morpork.

He is supposedly the only person who knew the real John Keel, but he never calls Sam out for it. If there ever was a real Ned Coates, and he really knew John Keel, we only have Ned’s word for it.

When he and Sam spar, he fights just as dirty as Sam does, and claims John Keel taught him the tricks Sam uses himself. 

He’s protective of Vimesy, moreso than other Watchmen though he’s known them all for the same length of time.

He is clearly up to SOMETHING; Sam thinks he’s one of the real revolutionaries plotting to overthrow Winder, but none of the other revolutionaries interact with him or seem to know him that I can recall.

When Sam admits he’s a time traveler, he’s unfazed; his question “From how far back?” would make perfect sense as “from how far back in my timeline, where you are my dad?”

He supposedly dies in the last fight, but Sam doesn’t see it, and Sam supposedly died in that fight too.

Lu-Tze is 100% good enough to have two time-travelers operating at the same time without breaking the timeline; he does, however, worry about the unusual strain he’s creating.

So, let’s say an adult Young Sam has a time-travel accident. Possibly after some sort of major falling-out with his dad, one that’s got him still pissed off at him. And now he’s stuck in a vastly more shitty version of the city he grew up in, and the versions of his dad he has met so far are a) a dumb kid and b) kind of a dick. He is not having a great time. He really, really wants to go home, but first he has a revolution to see through.

Viewed that way, Ned Coates makes a lot of sense.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 2014

#mcu #captain america #the winter soldier #very extremely hot #and i say that as a raging asexual #it's been so long since i enjoyed a marvel film as much as i enjoyed this one #i've loved bits of the new ones #but not the whole #i think the mcu has turned into what i didn't like about comics #where it's not enough to read the thing you want to read #you have to read the crossovers #and the previous series #and the spin off

I’ve finally run through most of my existing hoard of vintage bits that are the right size and weirdness level for mystery eggs!

so now I have to actively seek out more stuff. my recent Etsy orders are just. very strange. would love suggestions for more genres of Weird Small Things to look for though!

(caveat: i have to keep my Egg Content costs under $1/egg, because with the time they take to assemble I’d be actively losing money otherwise. this is what makes things tricky.)

#cracker fillers? #paper hats #jokes on bits of fancy paper #wooden spinning tops #those metal wire puzzles where you have to separate the bits #used nuts and bolts #knotted string #macrame? #cogs #different sorts of dice - like poker dice or rune dice #short bits of pencil (cut and sharpen each bit?) #yarn pompoms #minature playing cards for doll houses #doll house mirrors #doll house books #doll house stuff in general maybe #shells #painted shell beads #dried pinecones or lotus sead pods #rose flower buds for pot pourri #those decorations that are paper stars or hearts or butterflies on a string #peacock or pheasant feathers #plain magnets in a variety of shapes #small wooden pegs #single tarot cards #star anise and cinnamon sticks #lavendar bags for clothes drawers #baby socks #finger puppets #those wind up paper butterflies might be too big

I think my gender is that if you asked someone else what my gender is they would say female.

Looking back, one of the first times I became aware of feminism and the discussions around it was was back in primary school, during our first round of sex education. It was very basic -- some of you will get periods, here’s how your body will change -- sort of stuff. The last session was a talk in the hall with all that year’s students together. I remember the lady running it saying to us all:

‘Some people will say that getting your first period means “you’re a woman now,” and that’s not true. You don’t magically become a grown up just because you have a period.’

I really liked that. I know a lot of kids feel they are properly grown up at eleven, but I didn’t. I liked the idea that I could start my period and still be a girl.

So when the JK stuff started up with her mocking the headline that used ‘people who menstruate’ instead of ‘women’ it felt like such an attack on the little girl I had been. Roll back feminism! You are nothing more than your ability to bleed. As soon as you get your period you are a grown, adult, woman! Stop getting your period for any reason and you no longer count!

Of course I quickly realised that wasn’t what she meant. She was taking a cheap shot at my trans sisters and the little girl I had been was just collateral damage. It sucks. And it sucks more knowing it’s coming from someone who eleven year old me would have idolised.

I’m seeing a start up of the nonsense again today. A lot of people on twitter saying that only women will ever need abortion services. That is incorrect. Some people who need abortions will be women, some will be trans, or non binary, and some will be children. None of these groups are “women” and more inclusive language is good for all of them.

[Screen cap from twitter explaining why “Gatekeeping” is trending in the United States. It reads “People are discussing ‘gatekeeping’ in pop culture after a user suggested that if someone’s anime knowledge is solely based on popular titles like ‘Demon Slayer, Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach, One Piece, Fate, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Gundam, My Hero Academia, Yu-Gi-Oh and Ghost in the Shell, then you’re NOT an anime fan!’]

What I’m getting from this is that gatekeeping in anime is kinda the opposite to gatekeeping in sci-fi. In sci-fi I’m not a fan unless I have a good knowledge of the popular stuff (and previously popular “classics”). In anime I’m not a fan if I do have a good knowledge of them.

Almost as though the whole idea of being a “real fan” is made up.

oh my god.....dean and cas are gonna get little wedding ring tan lines when they take their beach vacation.....hold ON.....

#supernatural #i fully believe that the handprint isn't gone #but it only shows up now when dean gets a tan #(i've got some scars like that) #and because dean's is constantly in layers #he does not know this until he goes to the beach #strangers keep joking that he didn't rub the sunscreen in #after a weeks he's close to violence #because it wasn't that funny the first time #(does he get revenge on cas by covering him in sunscreen handprints? maybe)

i’ma leave this here since some of y’all’s racism is jumping tf out on beyoncé’s internet

#i absolutely did dislike it when rpatz and ford talked shit about their projects #because they seemed to have a contempt for the whole genre #and therefore the people who liked it #which includes me #but boyega specifically seemed to be real excited to be part of something he loved #and then rightfully called out shitty behaviour #i am so angry on behalf of boyega #and vaguely insulted by rpatz and ford

Have finally caught up with the ending of Supernatural and you know what, I am totally onboard with reading 15x20 as Chuck’s ending (and ignoring it as such) because for a show that made God the bad guy it’s just so Christian? So, so old-fashioned Christian. I guess it’s a mainstream American show and so it’s partially expected but? like? this is the same ending as Chronicles of Narnia wherin our heroes do everything god asked of them and still die young -- as a reward! Because real life sucks and happiness can only be truly achieved in heaven right?

Fuck that noise.
