a few words on the "turning gay characters...
In general, I dislike screwing with canon sexuality, because, well, that’s not how life works. If you’re a woman and want to sleep with a Kinsey 6 man, you can’t rub a lamp and make him interested. But I afford fictional characters the same philosophy I apply to nonfictional ones. With that in mind, let’s move on.
I see the logic of those who claim canonical tinkering...

you are seagreen #2E8B57
Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definitely strive to be logical you care about people and know there’s a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days. Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you...

“And if a woman should say she doesn’t want to have children at all, the world is...”
– Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman (via littlekitsch)
For the record, I’m not just reblogging this because of The Kid Problem. I think this is touching on another, greater problem - not trusting women to make informed decisions, especially if they aren’t the ones you would make - and...

task-oriented
Kaidan: I just... permission to speak candidly, Commander?
Irina: Do your worst.
Kaidan: Well, it's... it's about Noveria, actually. I thought you pushed both of us pretty hard. Maybe too hard.
Irina: It's called being task-oriented. It's how you get the bloody job done.
Kaidan: Until it becomes ruthless.
Irina: What are you playing at?
Kaidan: I've seen it happen, all right? A CO stops seeing the boots on the ground as people. They're so caught up in the ends of war that they lose touch with the ones fighting it. We're a team, Commander - not pawns.
Irina: You've got balls of steel to be talking to me like that.
Kaidan: The old implants'll give 'em to you.
Irina: [eyes him up and down] I guess -so-.

Haters in fandom
brakes:
It’s like you’re trying to enjoy some ice cream but people are like
“wow look at them eating their ice cream god what a bitch”
“they think their ice cream is soooo special”
“how can you even like chocolate omg vanilla is the best flavor”
“I bet they don’t even like ice cream, what a poser”
“they only have sprinkles because everyone else has sprinkles”
“ugh get out of my ice cream...

noveria [drabble exercise]
At the crack of dawn she stood at the window and watched the snowdrifts.
A groggy voice from behind her marred the silence. “Whatsamatter…” A groan. “Jesus, it’s 6:00…”
“… Nothing,” she declared with an exhale. “I just got cold.”
“Was your idea to spend September on Noveria,” he reasoned, yawning and nuzzling...
Anne: and then logistical questions like what would Jay do with his powerfist when he needs to take it off for reasons of sexytimes
Anne: does he throw it into the knapsack I pretend he has
Anne: does he hook it on his belt
Anne: and silly little considerations like well I could just say he holstered his Magnum because that's easier phrasing but Jay wouldn't be using his Mag in this fight and I know it.
Leslie: oh man
Leslie: I HATE THAT SHIT
Anne: hmm let's dodge this by mentioning that he takes the powerfist off
Anne: but never saying what he does with it
Anne: Cheating In Fanfic
Anne: with Anne Apocalypse
Anne: Thank you, come again.
Leslie: #leslie-approved solutions

i really hate it when people complain about female characters for being “whiny or annoying etc” in a show because a lot times their complaints can easily be translated to “she gets in the way of my yaoi”

correct way to kill a silverfish
Find the silverfish.
Scream.
When composed, get the vacuum.
Run toward it, hose out, yelling HEEEEEERE’S JOHNNY!
Clamp the entire end of the hose over that sonuvabitch. Be fearless. Silverfish are fast and will run if you’re not accurate.
VACUUM.
Keep the vacuum on for thirty seconds to ensure it’s dead. Remember these fuckers take like three solid stomps to die.
When the...

Looking at no more than two plays [The Bacchae and Ibsen’s Enemy of the People,] consider the transgressive/subversive acts undertaken by any of the characters. Under what authority or for the sake of what causes do these characters perform their subversive acts? Is subversion for its own sake and on its own terms possible or desirable?

God, guys, I’m so restless. I get self-destructive when I’m not working on anything and I haven’t been working on anything tonight. I have extra pressure to do something creative because I get to stay up late tonight and I’m done with midterms, but my motivation is flatlining over here.
Throw my brain a life preserver! Or catnip or something!

If you think people are out to get you, they’re not. Honest. People aren’t selfless enough to spend the time and energy on it. If they’re going to agonize over someone’s perceived flaws, it’ll be their own.
Nobody really follows the Golden Rule. Well, maybe the Dalai Lama. But the rest of human interaction is colored by pre-existing schemas and conditioning. Some...

momo-deary asked: You don't read the dictionary, you'd do all the hot men of fallout and tease them by not having their children (bcz your butt is better than any stinking baby >:l ), your art both expresses everything you feel you cant put into words and gives the gift back to everyone who makes you happy :) and you love me :3 <3 (I know you do, do not deny me~)

Last night I dreamed I was on a yacht for Christmas. I didn’t know when, but everything was very glam and 1930s, and everything inside the ship was all dark wood and baubles and thick upholstery. There were a lot of guests, but I don’t remember any but for two: An ash-blond man in a tuxedo, and a small, strange young woman who everyone ignored. Every night concluded with drinking and...

I won’t stop talking about this because Chris Brown literally sent Rihanna to the hospital and people are still putting him up on a pedestal and saying “Look at this man. This is someone you should look up to. This is someone you should aspire to be.”
Even though he beat his girlfriend’s face in so badly that she got sent to the hospital.
The Grammys are telling people to look...
