aboutiroh :
Iroh and Sokka shopping together
Iroh and Sokka exchanging jokes
Iroh teaching Sokka how to play the tsungi horn and Sokka teaching Iroh how to throw a boomerang
Iroh and Sokka discussing politics during a friendly game of Pai Sho
Sokka telling Iroh everything Zuko has done when he joined the gaang and Iroh trying to hold back his tears because he’s so damn proud of his nephew
Iroh trying to brew tea the Water Tribe way and Sokka holding back his tears because it’s exactly how his mom used to make it

Tags: i mean , I spent a lot of my life , not knowing what fic was , i'd heard of it , knew the definition , but didn't know what it WAS , it doesn't have to be long , or smutty , or gay , it CAN be all those things , and be wonderful , but the stereotype i learned , in my pre-knowing time , was so wide of the mark , because it focused on what the normie gaze , saw as outré , this tho , this is what fic is , and as it happens it's none of those other things , it's short , rated G , says nothing about gender , all of which is fine and beside the point , it's about narrative imagination , about the world of the loved story , unbound by convention or canon , able to be , through the eye of love , its truest best self .

dorcasdeadowes :
the pride and prejudice musical we deserve:
darcy doesn’t sing a single note even during conversations where everyone else is singing at him that is until the argument following his first attempt at proposing to lizzy where you can see his restraint fall away
his first big solo is the letter he writes her
gelsey bell is mary and the unofficial narrator and she sits down at her piano to describe whats going on but before she can ever reveal her feelings on the matter, starting with that gelsey bell scream, mr bennet comes over and does the whole ‘that’s nice dear but give someone else a turn’
mr wickham has this huge ballad about how darcy ruined his life and its super melodramatic and touching
mr collins proposal to lizzy is an absolute bop that he gets so into he forgets for a moment what he’s doing he’s just owning the stage
wickham has a song where he’s trying to seduce lydia but she’s not even listening she’s just monologuing about how excited she is to get laid
during darcy’s second proposal he keeps hesitating waiting for lizzy to interrupt him like she has done every time before but she doesn’t say anything until he’s finished
at the end mary sits down at the piano and right where she’d usually be interrupted, kitty joins her and harmonises
jane and bingley have the adorable upbeat romantic duet which is just them being super polite like ‘oh so nice to have you here’ ‘so nice to be here’ interspersed with their inner monologue which is just them being like fucking jesus I’m so in love
the bingley sisters probably have a really cool mean solo
lady catherine has this terrifying disney villain song in the garden
there’s for sure a song about ribbon shopping

Tags: insects , i mean , anyway , :-) , congratulations! , but that's what sally filters on , carpinteria creek , that arent insects , sometimes when I’m birdwatching , things that aren’t birds , spider web , spider , because exoskeletal legs are not her jam , and there's a (teency) spider visible in this shot , though I didn't even realize she was there when I took it , i knew she was there somewhere , but I didn't notice her until looking at the photo on my computer , long story short: , see if you can find the spider in this photo! , you're more observant than I was when I took it! .

Tags: insects , i mean , insects anonsally will never see , maybe? , ... , and yeah , beautiful delicate brave ones , is brave a silly term to use in this context? , idc , butterflies are brave in my book , they fling themselves into the world , on bright brittle wings , borne by the wind , not knowing where they'll end up , in a desert , or an ocean , or a smudge on a windshield , they aren't thinking about it in those terms , probably aren't thinking much at all , at least in the sense i use it , but what are they feeling? , are they afraid? , they could be afraid , and if they feel fear , and act in spite of it , i can think of them as brave , i can think of them as brave even without that , people talk about a brave ship , setting out into a storm , a brave new era .

Bohemian Rhapsody. We Will Rock You. Somebody To Love. All hit singles, and all the direct product of a band that was formed when an astrophysicist and a dentistry major found a new friend in an art college, who then went on to recruit a fourth member from the electronics school. Based on this alliance I propose the rift in society between Arts and STEM students was fabricated to keep us separated so as to dilute our true power – and fabricated by who, you may ask? The business major, the only member of society who reaps no reward from art and science and thus must weaken us so as to stay ahead. In this essay I will

Tags: i mean , it's a good memory , but I digress , and it was just , that first trailer looks so good , just that shot of the live aid crowd , doing the arm thing to radio gaga , i remember watching that live , linda was a queen fangirl back in hs , so you know we didn't miss that live aid set , (this was in the days before dvrs , and maybe even vcrs? hm. no , i think the weekend night trip to the video store was already a thing. , so we had vcrs , but it was a pain to actually record something , you WATCHED it , when it was ON , b/c that's when you COULD watch it , anyway you know we were watching that set , and it was an amazing moment , to see that crowd , and be part of the much larger global virtual crowd , in real time , and freddie had us in the palm of his hand , i'm guessing they're gonna build to that as the climax of the movie , good job freddie , r.i.p. .

Tags: also , but still , i mean , oh crap , no , not really , which , okay but , sucker for ombré , i kind of like that there are 2019 lines already , b/c i'm kind of wanting to turn the time dial forward lately , i know that's ridiculous , that i'd willingly skip my actual life , the only one I'll ever have , just no , not doing that , the wish to get to the part after the sucky part of what's happening in the world , is a thing , besides the not wanting to miss my actual time here tho , the other thing , is that the side of me that always whispers contrarian things , is full-on whispering , about how I have no reason at all , to believe turning the dial forward will make things *better* , and probably a fair number of reasons to believe that having turned it forward , i'd desperately want to turn it back , (now whispering: you doofus. you don't even have a dial anyway.) , the ombré , and not just the ombré , are very pretty .

Downy Woodpecker
downoodpecker.
This portmanteau was created from phrase ‘downy woodpecker’. Beep-boop. Portmanteau^bot^1
Portmanteau bot is renaming the birds for us!

Tags: birds , i mean , dowo , i prefer the bander tag , but downoodpecker is good too , this little dude is such a charmer , i can remember a time not that long ago , when I seriously had to work at dowo vs hawo , I'd mostly just always included them in the category of birds that were hard , and that I didn't have around and see that much anyway , but since I've gotten more serious about it , and esp. since I've had both of them around where I live , these last few decades , I now can't imagine having a problem , at least not if I can see their beaks , distinguishing them by vocalization is sometimes trickier , but I know someone who's awesome at that , hint: it's quickthreebeers 😜 .

msknope :
How did you know when you were in love with your husband?
really,
of how I was feeling yet. I just knew I was like,
compulsively talking about this guy. One of my sisters was like, “Who is this person?” But yeah. I don’t know if it was a definitive moment. It was just so easy. There was nothing hard about it.
That’s the thing about falling in love,
too. Sometimes one person falls really hard,
like I felt like [Paul] fell really hard earlier. You fell really hard and I was like, “Whoa. He’s really going there.” And I felt it too,
but I wasn’t quite ready to vocalize it. And then like 6 months later,
I was PANICKED in love. Like,
panicked and fraught with “I can’t even deal with these feelings.” But he had already been like “We’re together and that’s great! There are no problems here.” That’s our love story.
That’s beautiful.
it is beautiful. I love it. I do. (x )

Tags: i mean , like , don't we? , i like this a lot , but it makes me wonder , there's revelation , and then there's revelation , we all have secrets , things we are truly embarrassed/ashamed of , that we don't reveal , and mk talks here about how she has curated a certain image , and wants to be more honest and reveal more , but it's still curated , thank goodness , we all curate the version of ourselves we show the world , people who never learn to do that are emotionally stunted , and difficult to be around , even when they don't get elected to positions of authority , so the curation impulse is a good thing , and I'm glad it's still operating in this video , even while I appreciate the honest intention , that went into revealing less-flattering things about herself , that honesty is the part of the artistic impulse , that I admire most , so in an odd way , admitting these less-admirable things , is admirable .
