Okay I’m Gonna Rant For A Second About Something I Love And That Thing I Love Is Mortal Engines

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but going to thrift stores and buying all the usable sheets and t-shirts and jeans and then cutting them up to make rag rugs or yarn or whatever for your shabby chic/cottagecore aesthetic isn’t solar punk.

It’s gentrification.

You are taking resources away from people who need them so that you can pretend to live a less consumptive lifestyle. You are cosplaying sustainability.

The whole fucking point of rag rugs etc. was that you made use of textiles you already had that could no longer be used for their intended purpose, and you extended the lifecycle of the item by turning it into something else useful instead of throwing it in the garbage. When you buy clothing that still has use *as clothing* just to cut it into rags to make a rug, you’re *speeding up* the consumption of materials. You’re shortening the lifecycle. You are consuming MORE.

And you’re doing it by buying up resources that marginalized people need. Those thrift store sheets would look so much better on somebody’s fucking bed, but since you wanted that Little House on the Prairie vibe, someone is sleeping on a bare mattress now whilst trying to save their pennies to go to fucking Wal-Mart for bedsheets. And that denim throw pillow probably looks adorable on your sofa, but somebody needed a pair of sturdy jeans for that job they’re trying to get, and now there’s nothing available.

But sure, your house looks cute. I guess that’s important.

What if Charles had arrived whenever Spearchucker left??

Merry Christmas from the muggle side of the McGonagall-Snape family! 💜🖤💚

Don’t get attached to unpopular ships because you will run out of fic and die

This is damn adorable! And I can totally see it happening!

WALLEVE Movie Night headcanons

- When WALL-E found out more than one movie existed, his mind was in a state 1000 times more overblown than the standard “Mind-blown” response. 

- His iPod doesn’t work with most movies, but they can use the big computer in the building attached to EVE’s greenhouse to watch nearly any movie that’s ever been released digitally (see my fanfic “EVE’s New Directive” if you want to know more about the greenhouse. Okay shameless plug over :D)

- If WALL-E is picking a movie, he just reads the summary and goes “This one”. Conversely, EVE looks up the film to see how much box office it made or if the reviews are passable (she tries to act professional about it, but she actually relies on old social media responses)

- Of course, WALL-E adores older musicals. EVE found a pile made by anyone related remotely to Hello, Dolly-which led to the discovery of gems such as Singin’ in the Rain.

- He’s tried to reenact his favourite scenes before, and EVE LOVES that.

- EVE’s more of a Skydance movie person (Skydance is the studio behind the action scenes in recent Mission Impossible films and Top Gun: Maverick). She really gets into the action sequences and because of this, finds it a little hard to watch older action films as their pacing is rather slow.

- If watching a movie in EVE’s vein, WALL-E gets into the human subplots, no matter how badly written they are. EVE finds this adorable.

- EVE also likes watching horror movies ironically. WALL-E knows those films aren’t real, but the jumpscares can make him collapse back into cube form (even if he expected them). If this gets too bad EVE pauses and they just cuddle for a bit.

- WALL-E has no self-restraint and will watch seven seasons of a show in a day if he gets started.

- WALL-E also wants nothing but the happiest endings for the characters, and can’t help but feel a bit sad if an ending doesn’t end like that.

- Occasionally, if he’s really torn up about it, EVE would look around for a fix-it fic or a fan ending just to put it at risk. This is a task reserved for the most dire of situations, as EVE gets curious and sometimes accidentally pokes around in a fanfic that’s not exactly what she’s looking for.

- During the most romantic moments, they can be seen subconsciously holding hands again.

- Hal tends to sit in EVE’s bowl instead of WALL-E’s shoulder after one incident where WALL-E got jumpscared and accidentally squished Hal when retracting his head.

- There’s been talk of making WALL-E and EVE’s story into a movie, but everyone’s waiting for the technology to be restored and for the right person with the right vision to develop it. Both WALL-E and EVE are rather enthusiastic to play their own parts, alongside most of the other robots.

Feel free to reblog and add more!

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Mother today, I miss you so much and hope that someday I will be able to meet you all again.

I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith…

What do people mean you get “a type”? I certainly don’t…

I need to vent this somewhere so I guess it’s gonna be here. Seeing everyone’s Unus Annus tributes is making me feel even worse for missing it.

I was messaging my then new girlfriend and she was watching the final video and sent me a photo. I had never seen Mark before it and just asked what it was about. She explained the general idea of it being over a year and then deleted.

I was like “eh” and didn’t think much of it until I soon after started watching Mark and really became part of the community. Now, I’m just constantly kicking myself the more I’m discovering exactly what I missed out on.

Why on earth could I not have found these guys a year earlier? I’m not telling people to stop celebrating it, it looked AWESOME (and that’s an understatement) Hope everyone who did see it isn’t TOO sad that it’s over and has great memories forever.

(Not to mention all the missed Amyplier moments)
