Soul / Holding You Together

Throwback to the time my poor German teacher had to explain the concept of formal and informal pronouns to a class full of Australians and everyone was scandalised and loudly complained “why can’t I treat everyone the same?” “I don’t want to be a Sie!” “but being friendly is respectful!” “wouldn’t using ‘du’ just show I like them?” until one guy conceded “I suppose maybe I’d use Sie with someone like the prime minister, if he weren’t such a cunt” and my teacher ended up with her head in her hands saying “you are all banned from using du until I can trust you”

The empires "sustainable/unlimited" energy initiative is exactly like imperial nations using cobalt and other materials to build their electric "environmentally friendly" vehicles and tools. So many local indigenous people are going to suffer IMMENSENSELY from this massive resource extraction effort.

whatever you do,

do not imagine nina zenik and jesper fahey, two long-lived, powerful grisha, reunite in ketterdam to visit their friends

do not imagine them holding hands as jesper lifts his free one to trace the words, “wylan van eck, beloved friend, son and husband”

do not imagine nina leaning on a crow-tipped cane while she holds a dagger whose engraved blade says “we never stop fighting” and whispers songs of sailors

do not imagine them staying from dusk until dawn because they’ve dwelled in cemeteries together at night before, all of them together

do not imagine nina watching jesper with a silent question in her eyes

do not imagine them finally getting up, sore from so much time staying still, and heading north where there is someone else who awaits their visit

whatever you do,

do not imagine that

we’re literally talking about chemical weapons???? two or more things can be true at the same time? using chemical weapons is still bad even with or without a fucking net?

are you having trouble making a single coherent thought? or is that just beyond your intellectual capacity?

It is WILD that you say “selling drugs and engaging in gang turf war does not make you not a citizen” as if that changes the fact that they’re still CRIMES.

I mean, if your logic is that Zaun is technically part of Piltover and thus falls under Piltover’s jurisdiction… committing a CRIME under their jurisdiction means you can suffer consequences from your actions. No? It doesn’t MATTER if you’re a citizen or not. Being a citizen doesn’t give you free rein to do whatever you want! You have to obey laws!

If I’m a citizen of a city in America, and I do a crime, the police of that city are allowed to take away my rights as a citizen. That’s what being a citizen in a functional society MEANS!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU WEIRD ASS MOTHER FUCKERS????

his face

no more cold and calculating i want warm and calculating. i want characters who use deductive reasoning to figure out whether their friend would like a wool or cotton quilt based off of their lifestyle, career, hobbies, and habits. i want "your nails are often chipped because you work for a law firm as a typist for this company which notoriously underbudgets their IT department, so ive bought you a keyboard cover that will not only prevent manicure damage but is also sensory friendly because I know you dislike certain clicking noises". i want characters who figure out their friends entire schedules and social battery levels just by examining who only use that info to know when the best time is to hang out with them. i want characters who create elaborate, supervillain level schemes just to get their hands on some collectible they know their best friend wants. most of all i want characters who do not use intelligence and reasoning skills as a reason to be cruel but as a means to be kind

Crow Time - Statue 1

Otayuri Movie Night Headcanons

- They rarely go to the cinema, preferring the quiet and secluded company of their apartments, so they can talk during the film. Plus,Yuri prefers to have blankets and snacks and his cat.

- Otabek may or may not turn down the heating so Yuri leans closer.

- Yuri usually picks the films; turns out he’s really in to bad action movies. But sometimes, Otabek picks. And when he does, it’s always a RomCom.

- What? He gets a kick out of seeing Yuri blush at the sappy, romantic parts.

- And hearing him laugh is always a bonus. 

- Yuri is adamant that he loves horror films and has no issue watching them and that they absolutely do not scare him. Otabek knows that they do, but agrees t watch them in the hope that Yuri will cuddle in to him.

- He does. Everytime.
