I absolutely love ships where one character is usually serious and distant, but when they talk to that one person, their voice turns soft and gentle and is suddenly filled with fondness that they don’t show to anyone else.
I just saw X-Men: Apocalypse and I am on fucking CLOUD NINE, I am so giddy, it is so wonderful. My devoted geeky ass is so thrilled with that movie, I want to see it again IMMEDIATELY. Guys, the X-Men are everything to me, I love them so much.
This would be an EXCELLENT moment to send me prompts and/or come talk to me about the X-Men (or anything else!) because I am fucking bubbling with goodwill and delight and I want to share the love.
Sometimes I feel like unhinging my jaw & screaming at the entrenched establishment “HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT WE ARE ALL BROKE?” Because 9 times out of 10, when a “millennial” does something weird, untraditional, or otherwise confusing to previous generations, the core reason is because we’re broke, thus the old ways are not accessible to us, so we’re using new stopgaps and alternatives. An “obsession” with phones/social media? It’s a cheap way to socially connect when many of us are pressed for time due to work or can’t afford to go out. A fixation on food? It’s the last comfort splurge we can feasibly afford, when vacations and the like are not an optipn. A resistance to large life milestone acquisitions? Can’t afford houses, cars, raising children. Weird craft/homebrew/DIY hobbies? Trying to save money, or spin some profit in whatever way can be managed. Widespread cynicism, anxiety and depression? We literally have to take up group fundraising collections for things like emergency expenses, rent and medical care. We’re broke and it’s slowly driving us bananas.
I’m like 99,9999% sure that Charles will send a letter to Apocalypse after hearing that he recruited Erik like “You have goals? You have plans? You have legs? Say goodbye to all of them. PS: Hope you don’t have a sister.”
THIS IS SO CUTE AND ADORABLE AND OMG<3
*collapses with laughter*
Oh god someone PLEASE WRITE THIS FIC where Charles and the X-Men just hang out drinking tea while all of Apocalypse’s plans fall down around his ears because ERIK NO
No, it’s really annoying, because no one seems to separate or know the differences between allergies, intolerances and oral allergy syndrome. Allergies can be life threatening, and thinking that you can deal with them by yourself is just ridiculous.
yall really engaging in discourse with discourse generator
Are you guys literally saying that if you eat something you’re allergic to and some part of you swells, whether it be hands, feet, or throat, you can’t call it an allergy until you’ve seen a doctor about it? Sorry, no, that’s bullshit.
A person mildly allergic to peanuts swallows one for the first time and is unable to breathe properly for a while. From this they deduce that they have an allergy, and make sure to avoid peanuts because /they use their brain/.
No, fuck you. I’m aware that there are some stupid people out there who misuse self diagnosis, but honestly it’s a fucking brilliant tool to those with a sensible brain.
I don’t need to be /tested/ for food allergies/intolerances, because I have experienced them by living. Citrus fruit gives me stomach migraines, do I need a doctor to confirm that? no, because I myself am feeling the effects, and I know the symptoms and signs of stomach migraines, having had them since I was a baby.
You know your body better than anyone, never let anyone tell you that just because you can’t get yourself to a doctor, for reasons of money or distance, that what you’re feeling doesn’t exist.
Be sensible with self diagnosis, and it can get you far.
Also allergy testing give a lot of false negatives and false positives so even doctors recommend self diagnosis for what the food may be by trial.
^This. Especially with histamine intolerances and mast cell disorders which many allergist are not familiar with, let alone know the first thing about proper testing protocols for diagnosis. With those conditions a lot of the time you’ll only test positive for say one or two things but still have true symptoms even to the point of anaphylaxis. So yes, learn the signs, avoid your triggers (reactions are never predictable in severity), carry rescue meds, and make sure you list them in your medical info (it can help guide doctors for example if you react to bananas, avacado, kiwi (there’s a few more) there’s a chance you may react to latex).
I weirdly love that there are crotchety fandom elders around who say shit like “in my day, (insert fandom term) meant this specifically, but now you kids just use it to mean any old thing.”
It seriously gives fandom such a sense of heritage and family, like yes grandma, tell me more about how you had to write fic uphill both ways in the snow when you were my age.
