seriously I had some little TikTok teenybopper burst out laughing on my tour because I said that a historical figure was “most likely what we’d now call gay”

you’re free to take a ouija board out to the cemetery and try to explain the dizzying array of current queer terms and get a solid answer as to how he identifies within that framework but
until then, I’m going to continue NOT definitively assigning someone identity terms they didn’t self-identify with, and might not have even known, when I’m responsible for representing them faithfully and they’re not here to correct me. even more so when they’re part of my own community
I mean, you know, as long as that’s okay with you. Bestie.
Even if ur not a "salmon fanatic" u must admit theyre a cool fish

LET ME REBLOG IT!!!
Anyways I’d like to cite Mads Mikkelsen having to fight himself from kissing Hugh Dancy at the end of Hannibal.
King shit right there.
I just finished reading Kings Rising - oh boy!! But I read it on my kindle and now on the internet I hear about a chapter 19.5. Are these the same as the short stories???
[LONG HIGH-PITCHED GASP OF REVERENCE]
NO! it is NOT the same as the short stories!!! The Infamous Chapter 19 And A Half was a bonus chapter at the end of the Prince’s Gambit paperback (there’s also one in the Captive Prince paperback called The Training of Erasmus, which is about – you guessed it – the training of Erasmus). it’s basically just an extra scene at the end of chapter 19, which doesn’t SOUND like much, BUT GO BACK AND CHECK WHAT CHAPTER CHAPTER 19 IS.
I originally read the first two books on my kindle so I didn’t have The Infamous Chapter 19 And A Half, either. blessedly, the glorious and ever enabling @camp-four happily took photographs of every individual page and text them all to me, in order. I still have them all in an album on my phone. sometimes I read it before I go to sleep in order to have sweet dreams and wake up refreshed and buoyed by the knowledge that true and good love is real and it’s out there.
DON’T SAY I NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!

So I’ve been listening to podcasts again and I wish someone had done this for me when I started out, so let’s sum up and describe some podcasts, shall we?
The Magnus Archives - Jonathan Sims, newly instated Head Archivist at the Magnus Institute, London, is trying to sort through statements of people that claim to have had all kinds of supernatural encounters, while only having a taperecorder to do so, because for some reason, the statements won’t let themselves be recorded on anything else. But I’m sure it’s nothing, right? Supernatural Horror at it’s finest, with incredible characters and worldbuilding. 200 episodes.
Welcome to Nightvale - An incredibly cryptic podcast, set in the fictional town of Nightvale, where all the conspiracy theories are true. Listen to Cecil Palmer, the host of Nightvale Community Radio talk about the happenings in the town, his day and that strange, beautiful new scientist that has come to town. Over 200 episodes, ongoing.
Wolf 359 - Communication Officer Doug Eiffels log of the USS Hepaestus’ journey, observing the red dwarf wolf 359. Twists and turns, some expected, some most definitely not, all in all a good time for all podcast fans. 61 episodes.
The Strorage Papers - Unsetteling horror stories, found in a storage lot, unraveling faster that a ball of yarn. Can you keep up? And, perhaps the more important question: Can you keep it together? Carefully crafted stories that make you lock your doors twice. 104 episodes, ongoing.
The Penumbra Podcast - The space noir tales of Private I, Detective Juno Steel and his adventures on planet mars. A podcast so mysterious and casually queer, it’s almost addictive. Although their phonecall noise sounds like my alarmclock, the sound design, characters, storytelling and worldbuilding are unlike anything I’ve ever come across. 4 seasons with about 20 episodes.
Camp Here and There - Camp Nurse Sidneys recordings of her daily announcements. If you’re a fan of Gravity Falls, this is that next summer you’ve been waiting for. 34 episodes for now, possibly ongoing, possibly not.
This is it for now, I’ll be adding on when I can. I hope this’ll help someone… or not.
Wish I had someone to talk about how when Chainsaw Man ends Denji defeats Makima by giving her the thing she always wants, not to be eaten by Chainsaw Man, not to destroy all bad things in the world, but to have an equal, because he chose not to be controlled or complacent, deciding that he was Chainsaw Man, embracing that role and what it means to him, clawing his way up to her level, outsmarting her, cracking through her contract, "becoming one" with her and finally becoming her equal, in a character transition that happens in the span of about twenty chapters but has been built up to for almost one hundred
Fuck Fujimoto is such a good writer.

[ Live Example | My AO3 Skins ]
While AO3 has a way to click to see notes at the end, this tutorial is how you can not only have your viewers click to view certain notes, but also click back to where they had been reading before. We don’t even need to use a workskin for this, but just an implementation of simple anchor links. So whether you have a lot of references in your work or just want to let your inner Pratchett* loose, this is how you do it.

as we're all anxiously awaiting the release of wayward son (I know that is understatement of the year but we're going to go with it) I just wanted to reiterate a point I know many people have already made about spoilers!
(I know this is the point at which everyone will start to groan, but please hear me out!!)
not everybody will have access to wayward son on september 24th!
for example, I live in the UK and here, it doesn't come out until october 3rd. (this isn't really much of a difference but it's enough for us to get spoiled!)
in many places it may not come out for months after sept. 24th, and these people do not deserve to be spoiled!!
so please, no spoilers at all until october 24th (a month after the US release)! and after this point, please be very careful to tag your spoilers so that people who have not had the chance to read it won't have to see them!
this is also helpful for slightly slower readers, or readers with very busy schedules! they don't deserve spoilers either!
in conclusion, TAG SPOILERS FOR WAYWARD SON!
it may be a bit more work for you, but you could save multiple people from being spoiled!
thanks :))
(also if you could spread this it would be greatly appreciated!!)
