Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

Being overly-familiar with a series is such a weird burden sometimes because like

you’ll see some theory being passed around that you instantly know is wrong. Like it’s surprising to see people supporting it because the flaws in its logic are so glaringly obvious. Until it hits you that, yeah it’s wrong, but only because you were able to immediately remember the 5 second conversation between two background characters 17 minutes through s2e13 that definitively disproves it. And no casual fan would have any reason to remember that off the top of their head and it’s you who’s the weird human encyclopedia with a shot-for-shot memory the entire damn series.

Like at that point you don’t even know anymore whether to argue your point or just…maybe go outside for a little bit.

So, like, did Del Toro see that Tumblr post about Idris Elba and John Boyega? Like, that is too perfect, and now I’m just picturing him sitting at his laptop and stroking his chin going, “Hm, I’m not making a romcom, buuutttt…. Giant robots are like, basically the same thing, right?”

I would watch a hell of a lot more romcoms if they all had giant robots

if we can’t apply modern concepts of sexuality to the ancient world…that means that literally no one was straight. no one. heterosexuals never existed in ancient rome or greece. they didn’t exist until the term was coined in the 19th century.

but for some reason this concept only comes up when people are trying to erase lgbt+ people from ancient history. strange coincidence.

Me, about historical characters:  Well, yeah, this person was almost certainly in a relationship with this other person of the same gender, but that would have been viewed differently than our modern perception of ‘gay relationships’–

Some asshole:  Because they were straight and friendships just used to be so intense and intimate!!!

Me, unhinging my jaw to scream: ALL YOUR HISTORICAL FAVES WERE GAY.  *begins to bludgeon them with Sonnet 18*  SHALL I FUCKING COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMER’S DAY?

I wish my brain would stop reminding me how I embarrassed myself because it’s really fucking rude. I wish it didn’t take me years to forget shit like that and that I didn’t dwell on it. Honestly it doesn’t matter to anyone but myself - we have all done some humiliating shit - and yet my brain keeps being like, “Hey, remember how you fucked up and made a fool out of yourself? Just checking. I’ll keep up the reminders just in case you forget!”

The other day I remembered something stupid that I said in elementary school and its been cropping up in my brain and making me feel cringey since.  I haven’t seen any of those people in years, I will probably never see any of them again, and yet there’s still this part of my brain that wants to whisper But WHat did they THInk of you?  You were SUch an idIOT…

when I talk to an American for the first time I always have a little moment of panic where I’m like what if they don’t believe in evolution

I’m an American and I have this same problem when talking to my compatriots.
