fellas what is it about thor that when I look at him I think “lesbian icon”
its the fact that he’s a lesbian icon
Thor: can I buy you a drink?
Lesbian : actually I like girls
Thor: Wonderful! I like them as well. Would you like to join me in buying drinks for beautiful women?
I find it kinda odd how people talk about writing “flawed” characters like the flaws are an afterthought
Like “cool cool we’ve got this perfect hero now to just sprinkle on some Irritability and Trust Issues then microwave for 6 minutes on high until Done”
But I’ve personally found it feels a lot more useful to just… think of the flaws as the Good Traits except bad this time
The protagonist is loyal? Maybe that means they have a hard time recognizing toxic relationships and are easily manipulated by those they want to trust
The hero is compassionate? Maybe they work too hard and overextend themselves trying to help people and then they refuse to ask for help when they need it themselves for fear of burdening others
They’re dedicated to their ideals? Maybe they’re also too stubborn to know when to quit and they have trouble apologizing for their mistakes
If they’re creative, they can also be flighty. If they’re confident, they can be arrogant. If they’re brave, they might be reckless. If they’re smart, they could be condescending. Protective can become controlling, and someone who’s carefree could very well also be emotionally distant
In my opinion, the best “flaws” aren’t just added on afterwards. The best flaws are baked in deep, ‘cause they’re really just virtues turned upside down

Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.
In which Alice and Wendy play chicken with their feelings.
I’m thinking that the two met at finishing school at around 14. They are very different and at first, they argue constantly. Alice never follows the rules exactly and tends to be overly literal, favoring math and logic in her studies (When she actually does deign to devote any attention to them) whereas Wendy is more emotionally mature and romantically inclined. They both bug the heck out of each other, with Wendy working hard to succeed in school and Alice coasting by on natural talent.
In case if you couldn’t tell, I really love this pairing and at one point I even made a playlist for them. I can link it if anyone wants.
The quality’s crappy, the lyric video is crappy, but as promised here is the lotf song! Well…it’s not actually about lotf, but it’s heavily inspired by it (parts of the song could definitely seem like one or more of the lotf characters is talking though, besides just me). I could give an explanation as to why this song was written the way it was, but I’m just gonna let you interpret it for yourself :)
Also using headphones will give you the best sound quality, but parts of the song will still sound *sharp* or *muffled*. There’s nothing I can do about that, I don’t actually have proper recording equipment (oops). Hope you enjoy anyway though!

You have done a beautiful job. I hope this gets recognized by many. You should put this on Youtube as well, you are amazing!
Okay, I don’t care how crazy my friends think I am, I am absolutely going to do a cover of this in my Jack cosplay.
Reblogging this from my old tumblr because now that I can actually play guitar, my offer still stands
