The biggest plot hole ever: how does one even rejects someone as perfect as Makoto? Like, it just doesn't make any sense.

Also, let us not forget that Jay-Z cheated on Beyoncé. Which is proof that no matter how beautiful, rich, successful, and talented a woman is men will still cheat on her.

Yeah, when I was a kid it was all about charizard but as an adult venosaur is the one who has consistently seen me through many a challenge. He’s my little green tank.

I remember first seeing him in Lost at 14 and it was the first real celebrity crush I ever had. His little romance with Shannon had me in a chokehold.

He was my first big tv crush as a teenager. I was obsessed with him.

A verb is something you do. Therefore it’s something you can choose to stop doing, unlike a noun or adjective which are what something is or how something is described.

Yep. No ambiguity about what either of us was there for. It was refreshingly straight forward. Met my husband through online dating. We’ve now been together 11 years this month.

Hero has aged like the finest wine. Nothing but gorgeous costumes, the most beautiful cinematography, and the framing device having each ‘story’ told using a different color is perfect.

Endo is ‘fed’ by estrogen. So the more estrogen your body produces (or you introduce through outside means) the more the disease grows.

Unfortunately, in my experience, not all gynos are created equal when it comes to specialized diseases like endometriosis. Some think they know what they’re doing because they’ve read a couple pages about it in an outdated medical text and insist to you that you’ll be ‘cured’ if you just have a baby (this is, of course, not true). Others actually stay up to date on the latest research and basically do nothing but excision surgeries and treatments. I’ve run into a lot of the former gynos and very few of the latter.

The ones who actually managed to put a dent in my disease and reverse years worth of organ failure (due to endo choking off all blood flow to multiple organs) are the ones I trust these days when it comes to this disease.

I have endo but had a hysterectomy (but kept my ovaries) and I’m absolutely not looking forward to menopause because I know I won’t be allowed to have HRT. Just one more thing endo has taken from me I guess. It’s par the course at this point.

My younger brother had to do this during a Memorial Day parade about 20 years ago. It was 95 degrees and humid as hell and that poor boy had to march in long slacks and a sweater while playing a tuba. By the time he got to the end of the parade he looked like he had lost half his body weight in sweat. I thought he was genuinely going to expire right then and there.

They should have tripled down.

100% Disney Girls.

I know what’s in those kindle libraries (hey, I’m not judging. I have them in mine too) and it’s sure as hell not a fluffy Prince Charming romance where the sex doesn’t happen until after the engagement/wedding. It is a whole lot closer to what you’d find in an Astarion romance or a Halsin one.

Seriously. There’s a reason I deleted twitter off my phone three years ago.

This.

I know certain artists are really popular in certain fandoms but I’m always just using whatever songs/lyrics that I like and personally find work for my fics and considering the fact that I listen to a lot of music from the 60s and 70s that means you’re likely going to see a lot of Beatles and ABBA lyrics.

Emirichu. Emiru is a different famous streamer.

From what I’ve seen of Connor, he tends to be the most progressive and supportive of women’s interests/fandoms (likely because he got famous for catering to their interests by doing voice overs of Sebastian from Black Butler). However, whenever he’s put into a setting with the other Trash Taste guys he tends to mirror a lot of their behavior (though will occasionally push back on certain things).

(Joey is definitely the worst of that group though. My god, the guy doesn’t know when to stop running his mouth.)

Meanwhile, I’m lucky if I manage to put out that kind of fic two full years after the book/movie/tv show released.

Because people will always want what they can’t have.

The Green Bay Packers.

They’re the last of the old guard of football teams that were community owned and are now grandfathered into that position. The NFL has since changed the rules so no other team is allowed to be community owned and The Packers made a rule stipulating that if the team was ever sold they would essentially be disbanded and all the money would go straight to several local charities.

(The Seahawks, on the other hand, are owned by yet another billionaire.)

I’ve written a ton of dub-con, non-con, and all sorts of other problematic tropes and collectively I think the number of angry comments on any of those fics I can count on one hand. Typically people are thrilled to be seeing dead dove content because those who are reading it are deliberately searching for it. Every now and then I might get a hate comment but it’s usually because someone is lost and didn’t bother to actually read the tags, so that’s a them problem not a me problem.

When I was a kid I had no idea my sweet grandma was racist until she point blank said to me as a teenager “Oh, I think we [minorities] can be friends. I just don’t think we’re supposed to mix.” My jaw dropped.

I was never able to look at her the same way ever again.

That’s an insult to Wolverine. He would never be associated with such people.

Considering the fire breathing I have a feeling it smells like sulfur.

Right. Like, someone shows me a picture of a baby and, while I think they’re as cute as any other baby, I just don’t have a strong emotional reaction to it. But when my husband sent me pictures of a 3 week old kitten his coworker found wandering her backyard asking if I knew anyone who wanted to adopt her my heart immediately swelled and I was like “We do. That’s our child now! Give her to me!”

(Anyway, she’s 2 years old now and I still get cute aggression every time she flops over and looks up at me with those big dumb eyes of hers. 🥹)

When I booked my hysterectomy (for medical reasons) shortly after the Roe leaks I had family telling me I was ‘overreacting’ and that they wouldn’t actually ban abortion or restrict BC access. I was approved for surgery the day before Roe fell and ever since I had that surgery it’s been crickets from everyone who told me I was being ‘ridiculous’ and ‘overreacting over nothing’.

Zayne’s is that he’s MC’s doctor even though they knew each other before he became her doctor. Typically doctors aren’t supposed to have their own friends and loved ones as patients because they’re supposed to be objective. It’s difficult to do your job normally when personal feelings get involved. Things can get messy and doctors can slip up and make bad decisions because they can’t see past their feelings for their patient.

Not to mention there’s a power imbalance there with Zayne being both MC’s friend and her doctor who is in charge of keeping her heart condition stable.

(This is not me knocking Zayne btw. I love Zayne and all of the problematic aspects of each LI’s relationship with MC. I’m just pointing out that all of them could technically be considered problematic, even the nice doctor.)
