pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it’s like, “oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism” and that was very very brave of them

#here is a man so heartless he has literally cut his own heart out of his chest #but he’s still not as evil as the fucking east india trading company

inkskinned:

you’re in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren’t raised rich. you don’t get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don’t spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn’t that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what’s wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you’d fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it’s for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don’t finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn’t, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there’s other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don’t do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can’t live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don’t buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you’re not spoiled.

it’s just - it’s not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can’t even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn’t get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you’re so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you’d make a cake.

I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.

You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me (do people use kofi for that or tumblr’s built in system? Let me know what you prefer) or buying a print or sticker here! (STORE DOWN 7/28) If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!

OKAY!

WRITEBLRS if you’re seeing this, you’re legally obligated to reblog with an answer, and then a new question for the next person!

Here’s the start:

Which of your OCs is most likely to punch somebody in the face?

Morgan. Although interestingly, Archie is the one who actually does it.

A question:

What’s your favourite name you’ve given an OC and why/how did you choose it?

glen-reeder:

This a list of all the cons/scams/grifts that the Leverage team names during the show. Included is everything from a small one-on-one interaction between a grifter and a mark (eg. Little Orphan Annie) to full blown multilevel integrated cons (eg. The White Rabbit). If it had a name, it’s here.

If it has a black star beside it, it has a canon explanation or demonstration (eg. The Moonwalking Bear). If it has a white star, there were hints or comparisons made about it (eg. The Apple Pie is “like the Cherry Pie, but with lifeguards”). If it’s hyperlinked, it’s a real life scam and the link is to Wikipedia. If it’s totally unmarked, then the name was mentioned but never elaborated upon and is a part of the team’s beautiful argot. :)
