Actually The Reveal That There Was No Timeskip At All Is Hysterical. Milchick Really Spent That Whole

re-reading dunk & egg as well to finish off my asoiaf re-read :)) i love the d&e stories more than any asoiaf that isn’t a clash of kings or a storm of swords. like half of my favorite (and the best) characters, settings, themes, worldbuilding in that universe come from these

So uh. All New X Men was a pretty fucked up situation for Jean, huh?

Version without Dark Phoenix under the cut.

(Umm akshually-) Jupiter is not a failed star either. It will need to be at least 75-80 times more massive to be in the range of possible stars. It's not even massive enough to be a brown dwarf.

"Jupiter was meant to be a star but failed" or jupiter was a very successful planet? stop downgrading my man 🥀🥀

I’m just going to leave this here

One of the funniest consequences of attending any concert after binging TMA/TMAGP episodes is that apparently you keep imagining everyone getting brutally Slaughtered as the sharp lights flash on their half hidden faces...

jon snow at politics: Sam my close personal friend Sam who would die for me just rigged the nights watch lord commander election for me because he is charismatic and good at talking to various different oppositional factions of the watch to get them to support me which is the only reason I have the power I do. What should I do with an ally that has that skillset? Exile him to wizard school against his will on the other end of the continent by himself for multiple years🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️I should only allow my enemies who want to kill me near me☝️

As someone from konkan who called people in hilly/pahadi regions of Western Ghats "Desi" this information is even weirder...

'Desi' meant something entirely different to me growing up, tbh. We're in a mountainous region, we're from the hills so we called ourselves and the culture and the native flora and fauna 'pahadi' ('of the mountains') and that stood in opposition to 'desi' - used to mean 'of the plains'.

Then I started seeing people call themselves 'desi' to mean 'Indian', then saw it being used in a general 'south asian' sense, particularly oved the internet or in more global (but informal) contexts. I probably tagged some of my posts that had to do with something specific to India 'desi' too bc I didn't know how else to find others to talk to that stuff about but even then I never used the term for myself because it has never fit. And the kind of people I saw using it, often disapora South Asians but also particularly people from northern plain regions of India, I'd say I didn't see myself fit with their idea of desi anyway at the end of the day. And I never could get on board with using 'desi' to refer to all South Asian or even all Indian people when that's just one Hindi word, felt like ceding more ground to the homogenising of language and culture to place Hindi at the centre of the Indian identity, why would I say desi to refer to myself when I've always said pahadi, why would I say desi to refer to my friends from southern India and north east India when that's never who we referred to as 'desi' and they won't use that word in their own languages anyway, let alone why would I use it to refer to South Asians as a whole?

Obviously it's being used a certain way to have a shorthand for an identity and that's fine and whatever, and obviously there are hegemonic reasons for why That ended up being the word in common use (Hindi, north indian). I just prefer saying what I actually mean especially when I'm referring to my own identity and I think Indian, South Asian, etc etc fulfill that purpose better as far as I'm concerned
