This So Wholesome.~

We've been without the next book too long if this is what we've been reduced to when it comes to theories and plot twists... 😅

Apparently the favourite Rhaegar x Lyanna explanation is now that the whole war is actually Brandon Stark's fault (Rhaegar only kidnapped Lyanna to save her from Aerys' wrath, realised how perfect this arrangement was for the prophecy, he told Rickard about it but didn't have time to tell Brandon and Brandon then ruined everything when he went to King's Landing). Like. Sure, time to blame the guy who lost his sister and was then brutally murdered alongside his father. Also, Rickard definitely would have been fine with his only daughter, whose betrothal was decided by him, becoming the crown prince's second wife (at beast). Anything to absolve Rhaegar of blame

Wow.

Also, can we remember that what started the war was not Brandon riding in to the Red Keep and being a little too confrontational about the fact that his sister was abducted by the crown prince, but the fact that Aerys chose to murder eight people about it? Lords and their sons? Without trial? Lords of the Riverlands, Vale and North? And then went on to demand the murder of two more, Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, the new Lord Stark and the Lord of Storm's End? Two of the highest Lords in his Realm? On the basis of absolutely nothing?

Even if the hare-brained theory had any merit - that Rickard Stark would have been fine with making a concubine of his only daughter and destroying a betrothal that would have made her the Lady of Storm's End - that still has no bearing on the fact that Aerys decided to be a tyrannical, sadistic murderer instead of following the rule of law and upholding his end of the feudal contract and granting a fair trial.

And given the volatile political position of House Targaryen at the time, given that a block of informal alliances had formed between North, Vale, Stormlands and Riverlands, Rhaegar is STILL INSANELY CULPABLE if he did not realize that kidnapping half of a future marriage within that alliance block would be the domino that would send political stability in the Realm crashing and burning. Even if Aerys had not been a sadistic tyrant. Which, however, he was!

The conduct of House Targaryen is from every angle indefensible and no amount of contrived excuses will change that.

Your assumption is infinitely funnier than me typing up a 4k word essay on why that expression is apropos for the man who pulled the queen mother of political long cons to *become* Emperor Palpatine

This is the funnest expression ever pulled in all of starwars history

With a rusty tailpipe

"We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!" how about you go fuck yourself

Okay but like...

It would still work?!

Like Scooby is a skinny drifter who who tours the country in his groovy van and pack of strays and rescues

He's not even a an actual *detective*, Mystery Machine just sounded like an groovy name for a place to trip and tune out maaan.

But he still has the *worst* luck bumming for gas and food in busted up places with costumed crazies terrorizing folk, and between his simple observations and bizarre thinking and the explorations of his unnaturally smart dogs they bust the case with hijinks

I wanted to draw Scooby doo humanized with hippie vibes, and the whole gang as dogs,, maybe I draw them more(?? 👀✨

BRO THEY ARE LITERALLY VOICED BY THEIR REAL LIFE LOOKALIKES I LOVE NIMONA SM

This right here just about sums it up:

For everyone complaining that the romance in Belle was a let down, let me clarify:

THAT WASNT THE POINT!

The main plot of Belle was not falling in love, it focused on grief, trauma, and healing❤️‍🩹! And how you can find that in some of the unlikeliest places like the Internet even with its constant toxicity and multiple personas. You can love without falling in love, you can hug without being amorous, and you can connect without being romantic!

If you are looking for a love story with the Beauty and the Beast trope, I’m sorry! Belle is clearly not for you! So stop hating on the movie, saying you’d change or do it this way if you missed the entire plot! Life isn’t about romance, but love! Love of your self, family, friends, neighbors, community, the world, heck even school! This movie explores all the ranges of love except literally the romantic one on PURPOSE!

NORMALIZE ROMANCE AS A SIDE PLOT!!!!!!

(but high key ruka and kamishin were OTP, so cute & adorable 🥰 ❤️)

And it adds extra salt to the Morningstar's wounds to make what they do in "Season of Mists" be that much more vengeful and petty no doubt. 😂

Hi Neil! I’m wondering why Morpheus battles Lucifer instead of Choronzon in the show!!

PS I’m absolutely in love with the show so far

PPS😍 thanks for being the best story creator ever ☺️

Because we wanted to keep Gwendoline front and centre.

Aaaw yeah... thats the good stuff

Autumnal

I blame the movies we watched growing up framing black widows, tarantulas, and even just regular spiders as dangerous and unsettling

You know what’s wild? I hear people all the time talking about how they’ve been bitten by spiders. And the truth is that spider bites are so incredibly rare, constantly misdiagnosed. Do your research or ask anyone who studies them. Spiders are simply not out here biting people.

But what’s even more amazing is how adamant people are about seeing spiders as biting people when you know who does bite people? All the time? Ants. Why do people not fear ants? But this fantasy of spiders biting them gives them severe avoidance instincts. Like have you ever sat on concrete. Or in grass. Or outside at all ever? Ants are biting you. That little pinch you felt under your thigh? That’s some little fuckers mouthpieces grabbing your leg my dude.

It just doesn’t make sense to me? Why do people fear spiders but not ants? When ants are so much more likely to walk on your person than spiders, and in many cases will bite you if you don’t know they’re on you. Someone explains this to me. And don’t say spiders are bigger and creepier bc have you seen bullet ants

This is not to throw shade on ants. I think ants are fantastic and beautiful little guys. But seriously why are we demonizing spiders when ants are literally sitting right next to them biting u
