Is Actually Owned by the Fandoms

I really want to take a moment to appreciate the conversation between Roy and Trent in 3x02, as a part of Ted Lasso's larger commentary on toxic masculinity.

Because these two are classic nerd/jock archetypes, yeah? (At least on the surface. The fact that they're far more complex than that is kinda the whole point.) Roy Kent is the handsome, talented, scariest motherfucker around, able to treat people like shit and still earn the devotion of the fans because he possesses the coveted Sports Skills. Trent, in contrast, is the queer kid who was never able to participate in sports himself, instead needing to turn to writing about them to find that in. As he tells Ted, for him sport is the metaphor and his words, delivered with an "edgy" style that pulls no punches, defend Trent in a way he's never been able to defend himself physically; they gain respect in a field where he'd otherwise be considered a joke. Plus, given the implied backgrounds and present day characterization, I don't think it's much of a reach to believe that scathing articles like the one Trent wrote contain a certain amount of bitter satisfaction: Roy is "over-hyped," "mediocre," "disappointing," and driven by "rage." If that doesn't sound like a bullied kid finally getting back at all the jocks Roy represents, I don't know what does.

this was funnier in my head

they should invent a spine without pain

Obsessed with animals that don’t immediately understand something and just tilt their head about it. Does it make any more sense at a 45° angle, bud?

maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them

Weighted blanket is not enough I need someone to do this to me

no one scoring in the england vs USA game is the funniest thing that could’ve happened. no one wins. everyone loses. earth’s most boring game happening over there for loserville and failureshire

Unintellectual property. Really dumb but it's mine.

They should invent a me that goes to bed at a reasonable time

Shepard’s first conversations with the crew when she gains command of the Normandy sr1 are hilarious

Shepard: hey so all of these conversations are going horribly. My XO and Gunnery chief are xenophobic. My LT has a crush on me. I was racially insensitive to Wrex. My pilot is an insubordinate little shit. Please tell me you’re chill

Garrus: Haha, well you don’t have to worry about me

Shepard: Good. Tell me about yourself, why’d you join up?

Garrus: C-sec wouldn’t let me kill or abuse criminals. Spectres don’t have any red tape so I’m here to do things my way

Shepard: oh for the love of god

My teenager has more hours of homework per night than I got in my entire university career, and it doesn’t teach them a goddamn thing besides how to hate themself for not being able to do it all.

If my wife isn’t expected to labor outside her designated work hours at her literal job, why is my teenager expected to labor outside theirs?

If my kid has three hours of homework a night, that extends their work day to ELEVEN FULL HOURS. That’s inhumane. If an adult told me they were working eleven-hour days, I’d give them my wife’s number and tell them how to start unionizing. Like????

fuck i never thought of it in terms of hours

This post is going around again, so I would like to tell every single adult making comments about the length of their own workday that you are also being exploited. You should also not be required to work so many hours. That’s just as inhumane as forcing the kids to do it.

“Oh but I work 12-hour shifts all the time–” You shouldn’t have to. I’m sorry your job is exploiting you so harshly. If you’re interested in unionizing, visit IWW.org or talk to your local/industry union rep.

So beautiful a single father shows his son a cone

I will mash that Reblog button every single time this shows up on my dash. I spent a lot of years martyring myself for “the needs of the business.” Young people? Don’t fucking do it. They don’t care about you, you are a “resource,” not a human being. I can’t say this strongly enough: see to your self-care!
