Now That Trump Has Tiktok, Twitter, Facebook And Insta In His Pocket, Get Ready For A Massive Wave Of

Please excuse me while I *falls on their knees, starts sobbing*

reading the wiki for the american psycho movie every single thing it’s saying about christian bale has me in tears …….. he literally wanted the role so bad he got that buff in two weeks, rejected every other offer for 9 months while the producers tried to get dicaprio to be patrick bateman bc bale knew dicaprio would chicken out, went to dinner with the director and the guy who wrote the novel IN CHARACTER apparently scaring the shit out of the novelist, took the role for $50k, and then made all his costars think he was a giant freak bc he never fucking broke character, and APARENTLY LITERALLY HAS CONTROL OVER HIS SWEAT GLANDS AND USED THIS IN THE BUSINESS CARD SCENE

The End of Outrage

Why is the future Like This?

"That is, the approval of your peers only matters so long as you’re a peer. Once you’re the President of the United States, your personal conduct becomes much harder to police...While Democrats fretted about Mr. Trump’s incredible rudeness, he seems to have learned something interesting. That is, laws themselves are social contracts, just like the norms. In general, citizens have no choice but to uphold their end of the bargain, since after all they are powerless in the face of the massive bloc of violence the State wields. Who will defy the law when following it is a prerequisite to normal participation in society?"

Japan’s complete lack of understanding of declining birth rates in relation to its work culture reminds me a lot of how America has an assumption that millennials are killing industries when the truth is they are more frugal because of a lack of funds.

Both come from a conservative mindset that neglects the impact that a toxic work culture can have on society.

Sooo so so sick and tired of the holier than thou "proship and antiship are both dumb" "I'm so over shipping discourse" "I'm a secret third thing (adult with a job)" circle jerk bullshit I keep seeing on this site

First of all, most of these people don't even see what's actually going on here. It doesn't stop at what fandom ships are good or bad.

And where do they get off thinking it's just some dumb internet tumblr drama? Do you know that people who exist online also exist in real life? And the ideas that they express or act on online (like wanting to censor fiction, thinking they're the authority on what can be written about, sending death and rape threats to people who write fiction in a way they don't like) also carry over into real life?

Real life where we're in a fucking puritan nightmare of a media literacy crisis. You can really look around you at the world we live in and think a thing like censorship is just an issue that exists in cyber space?

how is it possible to love fictional characters this much and also have people always been this way?

like, did queen elizabeth lie in bed late sometimes thinking ‘VERILY I CANNOT EVEN FOR MERCUTIO HATH SLAIN ME WITH FEELS’ 

was caesar like ‘ET TU ODYSSEUS’ 

sometimes i wonder

I love how Blitz completely melts into this kiss...

But he still has enough self-awareness to make this impressive landing.

The fact that Blitz purposely takes the brunt of the fall, and still manages to cradle Stolas in his arms using only one hand, while the other carries a sword- impressive.

Like Blitz makes sure to carry Stolas in a way that guarantees he doesn't feel the impact or the rough landing.

The funny thing is Stolas was bracing himself for impact, only to be left surprised to have not felt a thing.

It's moments like these that really remind me that, yeah, Blitz is a professional at what he does. He may be an idiot, but his protective instincts are always on point. Goddamn.

Levi's Parkour Fail

Leviathan (leaning on the doorframe, arms crossed awkwardly but trying to look cool): Yo, MC... you wanna see something totally awesome?

MC (glancing up from their phone): Uh, sure? What’re you gonna do, Levi?

Leviathan (stepping into the middle of the room, cracking his knuckles dramatically): I’ve been practicing parkour, and I’m kinda amazing at it. I'll just give you a little taste of my elite skills.

MC (sitting up, clearly amused but playing along): Alright, Spider-Man. Blow me away.

Leviathan: Watch and be amazed! (He takes a deep breath, bounces on his toes for momentum, then launches into a backflip... only for his foot to catch on the edge of the dresser mid-spin. He flails like a dying fish, lands back-first on the coffee table, and smacks his head on the floor in one horrifyingly loud BANG.)

MC (jumping up in a panic, but also laughing uncontrollably): LEVI?! Oh my god, are you alive?!

Leviathan (voice wobbling, holding up a shaky thumbs-up): N-Nailed it…

MC (crouching next to him, half-panicking, half-wheezing): Dude, you’re bleeding! Stay still! I’ll get ice—no, wait, a medic! Oh my god, you’re such an idiot!

Leviathan (wincing, but trying to grin through the pain): Pfft. T-This is nothing... I-I’m a demon... we heal fast...

MC (laughing harder now): Yeah, tell that to the crater you left in my coffee table! Can you even move?

Leviathan (attempting to sit up, immediately regretting it): Okay, uh, don’t freak out, but I might’ve broken my back...

MC (throwing their hands up): What do you mean don’t freak out?! I’m freaking out! Stay down, you idiot!

Leviathan (weakly waving them off): Wait—don’t call Lucifer! He’ll never let me live this down! I’ve got a plan…

Later, in the hospital...

Lucifer (arms crossed, glaring down at them): So let me get this straight: you’re telling me that the two of you were attacked by a possessed bear, Levi heroically flipped over it to land a devastating blow, and in the process, broke his back and gave himself a mild concussion?

Leviathan (sitting stiffly in a neck brace, nodding enthusiastically): That’s exactly what happened.

MC (matching his serious expression): What kind of monsters would we be to lie about something so traumatic, Lucifer?! How dare you question us!

Lucifer (he walks out, pinching the bridge of his nose, muttering, leaving them alone): I can’t deal with this idiocy right now...

Leviathan (glancing at MC, wincing as he moves slightly): “Hey, uh… did I look cool before, y’know, falling?”

MC (grinning): “Levi, you looked awesome. Like a total badass.”

Leviathan (fist-pumping weakly): “Hell yeah... ow.”

MC: “Stop moving, you moron!”

I love Leviathan; I need to give him more appreciation.
