i don't think etho would ever come out as gay. one day on someone's stream he'd casually mention how his husband always finishes the milk and there will be a silence that extends over the entire server. grian kills himself and etho continues as if nothing
Reblog if you'd die in a factory accident in the 20's due to fewer safety regulations and fewer worker protections.
I want Gem to win Secret Life soooo bad
Not just because She Slays, although that’s absolutely part of the reason. My girl wants blood, and the Secret Keeper happily obliged, she deserves to be covered in it as she roars a victory cry at the skies above.
But ALSO
Just listen
Gem didn’t just come into this game with murder in mind, she didn’t just show up and start killing people right and left
No, no, she came in with a strategy
Every single step Gem has taken in this game, every decision she has made - even the most seemingly unhinged and mindless and bloodthirsty - has been calculated and deliberate and made with the long game in mind.
Right away, she teamed up with two VERY strong players. Scott, a previous winner known for being very skilled and surviving a ling time, and Impulse who has consistently improved over the course of these games and has the motivation to win, but is also capable of staying calm in tight spots and thinking things through and is generally not known to throw away his alliances or waste any advantages he gets. Together, the three of them make for a strong team unlikely to fall apart even as the rest of the server collapses. They make each other stronger not weaker. Gem could not have picked two better teammates to run with.
And NOT ONLY THAT
Gem has been networking. She’s been nice and friendly to start with, doing her tasks and flying under the radar, making deals and getting other people to do the really dangerous work like fighting the dragon. Even when she started to get her hands dirty, she did it with a smile and coaxed more players to join her in the chaos and generally avoided making herself look like the obvious villain. If Gem had gotten the task to “be the bad guy of the server” she probably would have found a way to spin it in her favor and make her actions endearing rather than aggravating. That’s not an accident. That’s a ploy. She has fully weaponized her nice and cheerful nature, and it’s working, and it’s a beautiful thing to behold.
Gem knows how to play this game. She’s going into the finale from a very strong position with nearly (or over?) fifty hearts, a defensible base, enchanted gear, two loyal teammates, and a whole server full of people who have either been killed by her or seen their allies killed/recruited by her. She is undoubtedly one of the strongest players, but she is not the most reviled, so it’s unlikely that the server will team up against her, which might be the only way to take her down at this point. She’s too smart to fall for traps (we hope) and too skilled to fall to straight PVP (unless it’s accidental Scar). At this point, Gem has very little to fear. Things do tend to get chaotic in the finale, people and circumstances can turn on a dime, but if she keeps with her current strategy, Gem stands a very real chance of being the last player standing. There are a tiny handful of other players that I think could stand against her, but again, it all depends on the circumstances and the heat-of-the-moment decisions made by the players.
Listen, even if Gem doesn’t win, no one can deny that she has played the game well. But I want Gem to win. She earned this win.
We’ve had the Sun, the Stars, the Moon, and whatever the hell Martyn was (Mars, I think?)
Now it’s Gem’s time to shine. It’s her time to rise.
Let her bring the Dawn.
being a transmasc with honkin bazonkers is so uniquely tragic. i spend so much time and effort each day trying to hide them beneath sports bras and layers of clothing and its such a shame because. they're nice tits. even my mum is jealous of them. and yet here i am, wishing they didnt exist.
im so sorry tiddies, i dont deserve you.

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
happy Thursday the 20th
My AMC television drama pitch:
“Too Many Boots”
The pater familia of an immigrant family that owns and operates several parking lots is arrested by ICE.
The eldest tries to manage the business while the second eldest plays vigilante and sneaks up to ICE vehicles during raids to boot them.
I imagine the eldest would be focused on the day-to-day concerns of running the business and dealing with the cutthroat competition, while the the vigilante kid would be stealing boots from those competitors to use against ICE while sowing chaos in the local parking economy.
i will eat only sometimes, but rest assured (most)energy drinks are an automatic yes.
