we need to make it incredibly uncool and lowbrow to care about celebrity. knowing anything abt a celeb's life outside their body of work should be seen as deeply freakish and bizarre
Ppl say how they hate how joy and Patricia’s relationship was inconsistent/nonexistent in s3 but there were cracks in the foundation already
you ever speak to your best friend and it just absolutely centres you. oh yeah none of that shit matters. I love you
Israelis slaughtered vs Palestinians killed was.... not a good choice of words to say the least 😬

parent-child dynamics are soooo crazy. i love you i resent you i can't stand you i adore you i pity you. and still watching your hair get a little more grey every time i see you makes my stomach feel weird
I already hated the fact that show sally basically yelled at Grover to protect Percy but this just makes it worse like my god.
im of the personal opinion you can be in a romantic relationship platonically. this makes sense to me and thats what matters
stop trying to figure out what this means its just a romantic platonic relationship and any elaborations past that make the damn thing crumple
“Malini,” said Priya.
She felt Priya’s knuckles brush her cheek. One hand, then the other. And Malini wanted to sink into it: the feel of Priya’s skin against her. Priya, unfurling her hands and pressing her palms to Malini’s jaw. But she could only hold herself tense, frozen in Priya’s hands, because if she yielded, she would do so entirely, and she didn’t know if she would cling to Priya and weep, or kiss her until they had no breath left between them. The uncertainty frightened her.
“I forgive you for summoning me to your battle,” murmured Priya. “I forgive you for wanting my power and wanting to use me and then—not. I forgive you for the day you do use me. And I want to remind you that I don’t fear being your weapon. I know you.”
“You know one of my faces.”
“Yes. The one that’s under my hands now,” said Priya. “The real one.”

It is so sad. It is just so sad. The yaksa were part of their culture. They were their gods. They worked so hard to preserve their language, their customs, their religion, only for their own gods to become tyrants.
And it wasn’t even always like that. The first temple children were created out of love. But the current temple children were used as puppets.
I really hope Ahiranya comes out of this with some kind of new faith. The other countries have the Mothers, the Nameless, who, for all we know, genuinely act in the interest of their followers. Ahiranya deserves magic, too. It deserves its culture.
s3 writers literally went ‘we’re not going to put jabian together or keep them friends, but a secret third thing’ and it was the worst decision they made
*jake peralta voice* AND ANOTHER THING they could have just committed to the breakdown thing fully (ie not just w fabes but also patricia (and lean into the frenemy thing with amber too)) and really highlight how isolated she still was despite the s2 reconciliation and drive home why she was so adamantly on mara’s side and guilty abt jerome through 3b despite the questionable decision making but they didn’t even do THAT and then tor rolls around and she and patricia are just besties again and she and fabian have 0 relationship whatsoever and i Get that a major thesis of s3/tor is growing up and moving on but why did they have to choose Those Relationships to (poorly) highlight that
I heard a brass quintet playing “The First Noel,” so I just assumed somebody somewhere was locked and loaded. [insp]
the thing is. bartlet is kind.
“pretend there’s a big red cross right on that plane.”
THAT WAS MY SON
You showed me colors you know i can’t see with anyone else You taught me a secret language i can’t speak with anyone else.
