An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked "Philippines 1942". Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

Last Line Tag!

I got tagged by @read-and-write- and @littlemisskittentoes. 🫶🫶🫶

Rules: post the last sentence you wrote and tag as many people as there are words.

Reinforcing how he's never good at saying things — Takahiro opts for the quickest answer, simultaneously hugging his knees and lowering his head into it. "It's stupid."

With absolutely no pressure, what's the last line you guys wrote? @blairwaldcrf @44whispers @inexplicablymine @user-anakin (the rest is via open tag for whoever stumbles upon this until I gain enough friends to complete things like this)

I recently read this Red White and Royal Blue fanfic on AO3 called It's Nice to Have a Friend by mainstreamelectricalparade. Guys it was so freaking adorable, I had to make some fanart for it

I would’ve tagged the author but I’m honestly not sure if they have Tumblr. I’ll just tag the fic instead

of course stede is getting high on the attention he's receiving he was an outcast all his life and his dream of becoming a pirate was always taken as a joke so him getting praised over blackbeard? his crew cheering him on before killing ned? getting fans among the very people who used to make fun of him? i fucking hate it here but ugh love it when characters are consistent and well written like fuck yes gimme flawed and stupid decisions that are made according to their backstories and personalities

also, something something, ed telling those kids that he and stede aren't pirates but that actually they run an inn together was ed voicing his fantasy aloud bc he could write it off as a joke but when it came down to it he was too afraid of rejection to actually ask stede to run away with him because it went so ass-backwards last time so he just, ON A WHIM, decides to be a fisherman because it hurts less to assume that stede won't want to leave piracy for him than to ask and be rejected again, something about safe spaces and trauma and needing the space to heal and how they're both still acting on whims, something something

Five fics under 500

Okay, so, I read a little too much fanfiction, this isn't even a comprehensive list of the amount of options I have but these are some of my favourites.

I was tagged by @happiness-of-the-pursuit and @suseagull04 :D

1. Terrible Things - @ssmtskw (T | 4k | One-Shot) Hanahaki AU, Hurt/ No Comfort, A truly clever way of formatting a story that uses a non-linear timeline. Also just read every single of Trace's fics, they are so good. 2. How well you play... that's up to you- @happiness-of-the-pursuit (M | 4.3k | One-Shot) Grey's Inspired AU, my best advice is to just experience it, I won't tell you anything else because you need to see it for yourself. 3. All of these Minor Feelings, are Majorly Breaking Me Down - ACDs_Coffee (M | 2k | One- Shot) A story that centers around Rafael Luna, following he announcemt of the Richard's campaign, it's heavy and it's truly wonderful. 4. praying our bridges don't make waves - @anincompletelist (E | 82k | Finished Multichap) A Soulmate AU with Fake Dating that I could not put down, once I started I was so trapped I read this whole thing in one day. 5. The Anatomy of a Big Sister - politics_and_prose (T | 7.3K | One- Shot) A journey through Alex's relationship with Henry in June's eyes, it's truly one of my favourite ones.

And tagging five people so they share their recs too! no pressure! @raysletters @14carrotghoul @heybuddy-drabbles @affectionatelyrs @gay-flyboys

i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.

inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.

both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.

Not to vagueblog but some of you are definitely the sweetest souls and I think of you fondly

I haven't seen enough people talking about Vico in military uniform (last episode) and honestly the lack of it should be a crime.

vico is a drag king irl too 🥰🥰

dramatic eyes. dramatic lips. drama on the cheeks.

If it was possible to like work part time and afford a place on your own anywhere it would change everything like the lives that would flourish the art that would be getting made the ideas and love and beauty that would be expressed it would change the world and they don’t want that…. They do not want that at all

My take on what could have happened if Arthur was there the first time Alex and Henry met at Rio 💛

Welcome! Is the mic on? Hello? Jk. I'm Trace, 22, and I never learned how to read use tumblr in a participatory way.

My interests include a bunch of things but I'm currently pouring all my feels towards anything RWRB. Haikyuu and BNHA both stay at the top, though. (main ships include: Matsuhana and Kiribaku) I love them, would die for them, live for them. Normal stuff, you know.

I hope that covers a lot of first small talk things. I'm not sure. (I can be loud, which, I guess this could serve as a disclaimer for that.)

That's all I can think of right now, but hello and hi to whoever. 🫶
