Going to Target feels like I’m a woman in rural Maine in the 1700s and I can usually only get like cheese and shit from my own cows but then every month I go to The CityTM and get sweets and delicacies etc
Happy tumblr day
just had to take a fucking second and close my eyes because i remembered that on the night of november 5th tumblr had convinced me, an outsider, that this was an actual gif of Castiel Supernatural being sent to mega fruit hell

I need to just express my appreciation for the Six of Crows duology and it’s ending. Not only does the hero’s story begin and end with plague, one of which controls him and the other controlled by him, not just that. His motif, his insistence that he’s a monster. The story told by the two books starts and ends with Kaz employing the same tactic to win: when everyone knows you’re a monster, you don’t have to do every monstrous thing. He’s done some horrific stuff over the course of the books, and we, the readers, start to get comfortable with him, to understand his backstory, even excuse his behavior. It isn’t until the end of the second book that we are confronted with the idea that Kaz may be beyond saving, and not until later do we find out that yes, he is human, yes, he is worth saving. AND, his story begins and ends with an innocent little boy on the brink of death for a crime he didn’t commit, and the choice Kaz makes to spare him, so the cycle of hardening children ends with him. Anyway, the parallels in just his story are amazing, so they needed a rant. I’m sure more will follow.

No I think God stays in heaven to be smug & comfortable & to avoid thinking about the enormous list of screwups & responsibilities they left behind on this hell of a minecraft server, next question
If you ever need cheering up, just think about immortal Merlin taking all his newly resurrected friends on a road trip around the world to show them all the culture and technology they've missed while they were dead, taking them to each of the places he used to live and all the major historical sites he's been.
Think about Leon insisting on driving whenever possible, and no one except maybe Gwaine having the heart to tell him that he is a terrible driver.
Think about Arthur invoking his status in order to get shotgun rights, and always grumbling because everyone else takes turns stealing the spot from him.
Think about Gwen packing a big DVD binder full of movies for them to watch during the long hours, but accidentally spills her lemonade on it and then cries a little while Merlin awkwardly comforts her.
Think about Percival and Elyan constantly bickering in the back of the van because Percival keeps stretching his legs into Elyan's side and Elyan keeps elbowing Percy in the ribs, meanwhile Lancelot is just awkwardly pressed against the window with everyone else's luggage piled on his lap.
Think about them all getting pulled over because their van shouldn't be able to fit that many people, and Merlin is most definitely sitting on Gwaine's lap, but Merlin uses magic to Jedi-hand-wave the cop into letting them pass.
Think about Lance quietly doing sudoku in the back seat, until Gwaine gets a hold of it and writes "69" in all the squares with permanent sharpie.
Think about the car breaking down, but they don't wanna wake up Merlin and ask him to use magic to fix it because he hardly ever sleeps anymore and the poor guy could really use a few winks, so instead they spend the next four hours scratching their heads over how the hell to fix a radiator.
Think about them going to the beach and going to art museums and eating at crusty roadside diners, throwing french fries at each others' heads and watching Percy get sad because the napkins won't hold shape very well when he tries to fold them into origami dogs.
Just...think about the Round Table going on a road trip.
Ahh he’s a terrible person who’s done terrible things but like??? He keeps people around for what they do, not what society says they should do???
Now I can’t stop thinking about my sweet child going through the entire journey to Fjerda not telling Kaz about how the leverage aspect of the plan won’t work. I know it was incredibly difficult and terrifying for Wylan to tell him in the first place (especially now that Kaz is being extra terrifying with him focusing on Inej’s injuries) but he had to go on the entire first part of the journey worrying about how he could be the weak link in this plan! Not only does he have to worry about his secret getting out, but he has to worry about Kaz possibly dismembering him or something equally horrible for not being the leverage they need!
And in the end Kaz is just like “nah it’s cool”
