Fall day at the Battery St. John's Newfoundland. Another few weeks and this place will be full of colours. It doesn't matter what season, this place is always beautiful!

Being into indie games is like. Pay $7 to have your entire life rewritten by this narrative. Now spend $400 on merch

Being obsessed with your own ocs is so so good for you i seriously can't recommend it enough

The only downside is that you have to do Everything around here

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

My husband plays this game he calls “king of the cats” where he tries to hold all 3 of our boys at once… today he was successful

Have to acknowledge this poor creature:

He’s so done 😆

also also. there's a difference to me between a "power of friendship" story and a "power of love" story, and that difference is NOT simply that the former is pmatonic and the latter is romantic.

a "power of friendship" story focuses on prosocial behaviors, like teamwork and sharing and mutual encouragement and support. a "power of love" story focuses on the *feelings*. both can be good in different ways.

power of love stories are USUALLY romantic, cuz most writers think of romance as the more intense bond, because of amatonormativity. (additionally, power of friendship stories are usually relegated to children's stories. this is partially because platonic relationships are often seen as less mature than romance. but it's partially just because kids' stories have a responsibility to teach prosocial messages that adult media doesn't)

the season 1 finale of she ra and the princesses of power was a "power of friendship" story. the princess alliance band together and use their combined strengths and teamwork to beat back the horde. the series finale of that same show was a "power of love" story. adora and catra's romantic feelings for each other stops the heart of etheria and defeats horde prime's hivemind.

but there are also platonic "power of love" stories. the adventure zone: balance and its storyline about the power of bonds is a "power of love" story, which uses both romantic and platonic examples. infinity train book 2 is a "the power of love" story where jesse and lake's platonic feelings (while the two are often shipped by the fandom, canon exclusively calls them "friends" so i'm calling it platonic) for each other were strong enough to break the rules of the train and get lake's freedom.

i don't have a conclusion to this it's just a distinction in my mind

the "oh. oh." moment in fan fic but instead of a character realizing they're in love it's them discovering they have a specific kink at the worst possible moment

this is the thrifting good luck post. may you find exactly what you need at the thrift store. may it be in good condition and in your size. may it have the tag color that's on sale that week. may it have 20 dollars tucked inside.

Usamericans are absolutely delusional.
