We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just noped out of that conversation because I just couldn't.

Wow. I didn’t think I could get madder about that

A gay male friend of mine noted on Facebook that he’s obsessed with HR, and I agreed, and he told me his local friends are not (!!) so I agreed to be his crack dealer. I sent him a ton of TikTok edits and he’s reading the books currently so I sent him some fanfics but told him most of them I can’t send until he’s finished the books currently and he was like “wait, what’s AO3?” And I was all “oh you sweet summer child…the crack awaits you”

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Question for people who watched season 1 of The Pitt: I'm extremely phobic of rats, and I couldn't watch the first season because of that. Was that thing resolved within the first season, or do I still need to be cautious?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would assume that plotline was resolved, but have not seen the premiere

I think it was resolved but I can’t remember exactly how, so not 100% confident. There’s none in this episode.

Man, I remembered there was emotional trauma but forgot about all the injuries and such onscreen. Much flinching

I believe that the "journalist" was telling night shift about them (sure, dude), which felt like a bow on the story

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
