whenever something big happens in another corner of the wlw world i swear you can feel it fandoms away, it’s like a ripple, a chain reaction, there’s no avoiding it, if it’s gay you can bet your ass you’re going to know every single little thing about it within 24 hours of it happening
if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t
someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter
most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t
homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right
This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.
people who are afraid of snakes are fuckin’ WILD, like dude, just carefully step over these fat babies’ sausage bodies and gently move the burmese python chillin’ against the door, then you become unfathomably rich. i would do this for $10. i would do this for FREE.
Xena: Warrior Princess premiered 20 years ago today on September 4, 1995
In a time of ancient Gods, warlords, and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess, forged in the heat of battle. The power… the passion… the danger… her courage will change the world.
inspired by @zabbers‘s efforts in this area, i present to you a visual guide to Missy’s Chair Emporium
u with me u wanna talk about chairs let’s talk about chairs i have a BS in chairs let’s go
a general overview of the Zones. left to right, we have: cafe seating, a lonely chest of drawers, the breakfast nook/sexual tension area with side table holding…something, a superbly mod-60′s TV set, the bed (which is both outside the safety zone and like something out of a bad writer’s fever dream about sexually roughing it in 1920s Paris because of course), and another side table. it’s filled with secrets.
what is THAT i love it. it’s something out of an olde tymey waiting room that doubles as a courting chair it’s perfect i want five. further update: the beside table has a lamp
i wanna know what that Saarinen egg tv is, like janky knockoff of the Keracolor Sphere sure maybe but from whence
front chair is boring let’s talk about the Wassily-esque proportions of the back one. that is absolutely a chair you make Peter Capaldi sit in. Soressi is probably a better source for what this is knocking off, it doesn’t matter, what’s important is the tension of knowing what Peter Capaldi will look like sitting in this chair, but not having the details yet. like if he sits in the chair you inherited from your grandma like that…right? it’s Chekov’s gun, it’s the first loaded glance in an E rated fanfic, i can hardly stand it
it’s blurry but it’s fairly apparent that upon the random lonely probably-for-documents-or-w/e-why-the-small-drawers Thing rests a shiny metal titty bust, because i guess their idea of interior decoration is the house at the end of Goodfellas
this chair also exists. not my era of expertise, but i do want to say that i bet Missy sits here whenever she wants to feel like she’s on a goddamn throne
i include this shot because 1) is that a fireplace? and B) there’s a hanging lamp over the bed, like real low to the bed, because…reasons
better view of Cafe World. left chair does a better impression of a Thonet at first glance but right chair might be a slightly more passable copy-of-a-copy-of-an-etc of the Era chair. the metal chair is a metal Thonet rip and if you’ve ever eaten a stale overpriced croissant or chainsmoked on a bougie relative’s patio while dreading going back inside, it’s that chair. the table, also that table. who brought marginal patio furniture to the vault and why, i need answers
also check that face PCap is making it’s hilarious
sorry what were we talking about
we also have chandeliers. who fuckin – like this is a bad home remodeling show where you give somebody 1 million currency units and there’s a grand unveiling and instead of like, you know, storage space and kitchen stuff they’re proudly saying yes, yes i did spend all 1 million cash moneys on two chandeliers and 1000 chairs ayy lmao fuck it. it’s a dorm-room sensibility on a hilarious budget do they also put gold flakes in their ramen i mean cmon
i feel betrayed, to be totally honest with you, that i was given Peter Capaldi on a Wassily-shaped chair and he’s just perched on the edge like PLEASE that chair is designed for tall leg-based people to look good on why would you do this to me
also there’s two space-heaters so include those in your fanfics. i have no opinions on space-heater design, but they sure do exist
thus concludes the visual tour of
Missy’s Chair Emporium
I shit you not, I had a definite feeling of ‘this isn’t right’ when I saw Peter perched quarter-arsedly on the Wassily-esque darling. Now I know why. He did it wrong. He should be sprawled all over that thing. He looks like some dad reading the sunday paper on the john.
it’s SO WRONG he should be lounging back, ultra sprawl. i mean yes i do appreciate Dad Vibes but on this of all chairs, it’s a waste of his full powers. i’m glad you agree.
I am also in favour of the dad tum and space (grand)dad moments in general, but to everything there’s a season, man. What a waste.
can i just say that i love that the internet exists as a venue in which to discuss and debate the Dad Levels of Dr Who in the context of industrial design
Why do showrunners fart around with stupid plots and pointless dialogue when they just need to put actors in significant and interesting chairs
