everyone to scully, any time mulder wanders off somewhere:

gnome giving an emergency briefing to the U.S. president: you humans have no word for it… i suppose the closest approximation would be… “berrydeath”

nerdy human scientist (wiping his forehead with a moist handkerchief): jesus christ

square-faced general: if only we could use it as a weapon

No no but look at the state of his hands

He literally fought with everything he had to try and get to her. Even though she repeatedly told him to leave because there was a bomb.

She begged and pleaded and he absolutely refused to leave because like he said, “I’m not leaving without you.”

“We’ll go together. I’m going to stay by your side.”

He was prepared to die for her.

We hear it all the time. The “he fell first, she fell harder” trope but honestly I think this is one of those “he fell first but they both fell hard” tropes.

There is nothing Min Hyuk wouldn’t do for Bong-soon.

This moment. This utter desperation he shows to get to the LOHL gets me every time because that is exactly what Bong-soon deserves. For someone to love this much for who she is regardless of her abilities or not.

Min-min would bring about the end of the world just for his Bong-bong and she deserves nothing less.

thinking about how the world would be better if more people understood the differences between 'the author failed to tell the story they wanted to tell' and 'the author told the story they wanted to tell, but they told it badly' and 'the author told the story they wanted to, and they told it well, but it wasn't the story I wanted to read'

We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched

Like there is nothing sexier hthan this

Can’t wait for OP to get scurvy

Are you under the impression that the ships themselves are what caused scurvy

Once again. Do you think this is the fault of the ships themselves

if i was trapped in the time loop i would do the correct sequence of actions to break out of the time loop on my first try, thus resulting in me unaware of there being a time loop in the first place

You keep saying this every time.

that's because you're stuck in the time loop so you hear me say it every time. i on the other hand, got out perfectly so i'm experiencing time linearly as normal

I think this is the loop where I kill you with a rock

What appeals to me about whump: an incomplete list

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

Gali: You're smiling. What happened?
Tahu: What? Can't I just smile because I feel like it?
Onua: Kopaka tripped and fell down the stairs today.

you know, the more i think about it, the angrier i get about how mainstream media and even people in general treated marie kondo when the life changing magic of tidying up got big. it's just so unnecessary and sad to me and i think the vast majority of people would love what she has to say if they just actually looked into it instead of maliciously memeing her to death? i'm not talking about the cutesy does it spark joy stuff but all the things portraying her as some bizarre evil cleaning dictator.

i actually read her book when i was about twelve years old, in the most shocking and probably only example of me ever being ahead of a trend, and even at twelve i really loved everything she said. at that point in time i lived in fear of my mother's threats that she would come and throw everything away while i was school, and my small and very adhd mind simply could not grasp the concept of "have less stuff". have less of WHICH stuff? how? i'd never actually been taught how to clean my room besides being told "pick up stuff" and "be organized", and as she points out multiple times, cleaning is not an intuitive thing. it's a learned behavior and skill.

anyways. her entire philosophy centers on surrounding yourself with things that you love, and only things that you love (or things that you absolutely need). she explicitly says over and over again that it is not about throwing things away, it is not about minimalism, it is not about "what is the smallest amount possible that you can survive on". she literally has a whole section where she talks about how hard it can be to throw things away when you've lived in poverty all your life and you don't have absolute confidence that you can replace something that you really needed if it gets thrown out, even though you're not likely to ever really need it--you've just been conditioned to think that because that's literally how you survive, when you're poor. she talks about how that mindset can serve and how it can damage. she talks about how minimalism is sort of a rich people thing, cause they can afford to throw everything away.

this woman really came out here and said "i want you to be surrounded by things you love and i'm going to validate your fears and your difficulties in getting to that place" and people somehow got mad at her. i don't understand it
