i’m pretty sure this was done on the tlt subreddit once before but i haven’t seen it here and i’m curious to know tumblr’s opinions on the topic! personally i like the second two much more than the first—gtn didn’t really grab me that much and i wouldn’t have even called myself part of the fandom until i decided i might as well give htn a go and immediately got sucked in—but i’m guessing that most people’s experience is different, since the first book seems like the most popular based on the impressions i’ve gotten. also feel free to put in tags where you’d rank the short stories (as yet unsent and doctor sex) relative to the books! i would have stuck those in the poll too but there are. 120 different ways to order 5 unique objects
i can’t believe i took these photos oh my god i luckily had a great view of the entire concert and wow, again, had thee absolute time of my life. ❤️🩹 enhypen, you will always be loved by me.
hi. i would just like to say that this is an attitude i've seen around increasingly often and i find it deeply baffling. like, genuinely could not relate any less to what is being expressed here.
personally, almost all media i'm obsessed with and talk about constantly is because i think it's good and i love talking about the ways in which it's good. yes, criticism can be fun and breed conversation, but so can positive critique. thoughtful, long-lasting engagement with a piece of media doesn't have to be negative. there are in fact ways for media to be good beyond "competent but generally unremarkable"?
and this is ymmv, but complaining about something is more the snack food of media criticism for me. it's fun and great in the moment and it absolutely is something i need to do regularly to feel normal. but i can't live off it. i need to experience genuine appreciation and esteem on a regular basis too, or i shrivel like a raisin. (expressed more seriously: the kind of critique i find actually nourishing in the sense that it allows me to refine what kind of art i would like to make, and what makes me tick as a human being, is the positive kind about media i love very much for being excellent.)
idk guys. is it just that i'm autistic and therefore discussing for the nth time why xyz rules never stops being entertaining? what am i missing here. maybe it's good when media is good?
Thank you for the tag @tonguetyd! My spoons are indeed low but my sleep schedule is GONE so. Random burst of energy let's go.

Idk who made this or not so I'm tagging randomly, no pressure to do this whatsoever! @dearscone @corviisquire @hookedhobbies @politemagic (hi!) @leonsleftbicep @melit0n
me: *minding my own business ice skating at a rink*
Random boy #1: *talking to random boy #2* "yea Sirius is the best"
Random boy #2: "nooooo reggie is the best. And remus!!!"
Me: *full stops and turns to stare at them* "marauders?!?"
Random boys #1 & #2: *look at me and shake heads excitedly* "marauders."
We then spent an hour slowly skating around together and talking about the marauders and I convinced them to read atyd which they weren't sure about reading bc its cannon compliant. So I just made 2 friends and ruined their weeks at the same time.
It's been a while since I last thought seriously about Dr*gon A*e (even prior to falling in love with BG3) and I think a big part of that is I'm not as big a fan of the setting and the worldbuilding as I used to be. Like to me it really does feel like BW looked at typical fantasy settings and went "hmm okay but what if there was Catholic-enforced racism and abelism". And like. Cool thought experiment bro. Do we really need three games made by primarily white guys about that.
@mrsmiagreer and @lovelylonerliterature started a Vincent angst train last night at 1 am my time and I needed to return the favor
Headcannon that the two friends Vincent went to wonder world with were a set of twins he’d been friends with since early childhood. They had all known each other since elementary school and were practically inseparable. People often joked that it was more like they were all triplets than a set of twins and their best friends This gets even more upsetting when you remember they both went to the gift shop when Vincent rose the surge that last time. Imagine they went there with their best friend to enjoy a break from university life and left without a sibling. They went to have fun and instead lost a part of themselves; a part that they never knew was still alive. Top this off with the fact that Vincent was missing presumed dead just imagine the twins looking for him and all Vincent can do is watch.
god i really forgot that every business management professor specifically is the most unpleasant human being alive for no good reason. i have two business classes with like econ and accounting professors respectively and those look fine and then oh my god if i have to go back to this class with this professor i think i might actually kill myself
So I was thinking today (a terrible habit ik 😞) and then this came to mind
It would be interesting if Venus and jenika were in tmnwn
I mean there life is hard enough at the moment and I can't stop thinking about how funny the amount of plotwists they would have then
It be like
"Oh no! Our dad has been kidnapped!"
To
"Omg!! We have a wierd family destiny!!"
To
"OMFG!! We're turtles!!"
To
"Holy shit!!! we have mystic powers!!!"
To
"HOLY PIZZA SUPREME IN THE SKY WE HAVE SISTERS!!!!"
Idk it just seemed fun
Ofc you don't have to add them to the storyline, especially since idk think theyd be really relavent or the current lore anyways
But its still fun to think about
LMAOOOO. I mean, lowkey, it WOULD be funny as fuck. Just really pile it on on them, why not?
As fun as it would be, I don't currently have any plans on bringing Venus or Jennika into TMWN, I'm not sure how I could make them fit into the storyline in any kind of natural way ; w ;
,,, they do definitely exist in at least one of my other AU's, tho,,,
it was a demanding (VERY HOT) day, but I couldn’t be more happy to see my idols 😊
PLUS THEY DID START TOGETHER A FEW METERS IN FRONT OF ME 😍
it was so sweet, that everyone just got up and cheered at them 🥺🥺 no matter what cap or shirt they had, they all were waving when Verstappen and Leclerc slowed down and omg great atmosphere at my standings ❤️
HELLO STRANGER i am sorry if this is really sudden and out of he blue, but i was just reminded of the existence of the show Mad Dogs, and i have been looking in tags EVERYWHERE to try and find this one promo image for the show where there was a car in the swimming pool, and now i wonder if i just hallucinated it. do you have any leads? D: -signed a displaced Life on Mars fan
Hey there!! Omg please know finding anything related to Mad Dogs in my inbox is never anything but a pleasure, it seriously is my favorite show in existence and unbelievably underrated so the more talk of it the better.
On first thought I'm wondering if this is the pic you're looking for:
and if so there's also a small video promo of the same scene right here as well if you need it 🥰
If not let me know and I'll be happy to browse around, this is the only one coming to mind atm but I'm currently away for work without access to my usual files so can check those later!
