scully is truly one of the characters most near and dear to my heart.
she's a navy brat. a middle child to a distant father. a genius. she rewrote einstein at age 23. she is a doctor and a scientist and she's wrestled with god, but never stopped wearing the cross necklace from her mother. she's jealous and territorial. she likes rules and still breaks them with regularity.
she will not discuss her emotions unless it's under 50 layers of metaphor, but she also cannot hide her feelings, so she sits there, visibly moody. she is a terrible liar. she falls asleep easily. she can and will kill someone, but she's such a good shot that she usually doesn't need to- she can put a bullet right in your collarbone and call an ambulance instead.
she spouts disconcerting facts about bugs and decomposition and genetics and saints without blinking. she once autopsied a guy and then ordered his last meal for dinner. she can cure alien viruses. she wants the real cream cheese on her bagel and something sweet to drink. how could you not love her.
I’m going insane THANK YOUUUU

second base is preserving your organs and mounting your head on my wall. third base is sex of course
🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.
Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.
Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.
Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.
Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.
Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.
Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.
Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%
Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.
If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

I love drinking warm water- it brings out the taste of the chemicals in the tap water
Apparently my magic trick was “very disturbing” and “off putting” and “joints and tongues aren’t supposed to go that way”
Does anyone know where i can reread my favorite fanfiction ever (A lullaby for the gods by inkteacup), it was literally a work of art and i read it over 10 times and i was so sad when it was taken off but i had a whole dream about this fanfiction and i’m literally salivating to read it again but i can’t find it on the wayback machine or anywhere else :(
Hello Tumblr friends, apropos of nothing, I have a book recommendation for you.
If You Think You Would Enjoy:
First person narration that Does Something Cool With It
Urban fantasy that really leans into the urban aspect. The mundane beauty of the city made magical
London Man Investigates His Own Murder While Committing Several More Murders, more at 8
A protagonist who is just an absolute wet pathetic paper bag of a man and knows it
A protagonist(s) who are the exuberant and unhinged personification of telecommunications technology with an unparalleled zest for life and also sometimes murder
Both of those characters are technically the same person
The most breathtakingly gorgeous prose that has ever been used to describe a magically animated pile of garbage
A tone that I feel can reasonably be described as “gritty,” with its refusal to shy away from the blood and grime of reality, but that is also suffused with a deep unflinching love for everything that humanity is
A supporting cast that includes many of the world’s weirdest and most badass women
The protagonist getting beat up and/or stabbed and/or shot and almost dying at least twice per book
A reading experience not quite like any you have seen before or since
Then You Should Read:
The Matthew Swift series by Kate Griffin, starting with A Madness of Angels
If you love the city of London, you will love this book. If you have never been to the city of London, this book will show you what it looks like through the eyes of someone who loves it.
(And also what it looks like when embodied as a giant dragon made of street signs.)
I cannot emphasize enough the gorgeousness of this prose, the geniusness of the urban magic system, and the amount of love for London and for humanity that oozes out of this book. I am also fully convinced that Matthew Swift would be a tumblr blorbo if his books were not mostly out of print and very niche.
It can be a bit hard to get your hands on a physical copy—try thriftbooks or another online used bookseller, or call your friendly neighborhood bookstore and see if they can order it for you. Or just go for an ebook (maybe your library has it on Libby). It is absolutely worth the trouble.
Brief content note while I have you here: There is a fair amount of violence and it is sometimes very lovingly described. Also...don’t get too attached to side characters.
Go read it and then join the approximately 3 people on tumblr who know this book exists and are obsessed with it!!
He still wears his parents hat and tie after all those years (i can’t believe i’m feeling bad for a sentient triangle) :(
Frederick Chilton is the cuntiest gay man in the entire show i love him
I want to wear trenchcoats and suits in a transmasc Fox Mulder way but alas i’ve been cursed :(
Y’all know that feeling when you’re too neurodivergent for a show so whenever you watch it you just shriek and explode out of joy
“I don’t know if i can save myself…
maybe that’s just fine”
OOOOH MY GOD TJIS IS AMAZING
I drew him and got tumblr to show him off I have no idea what I’m doing
Have i read any media pertaining to warrior cats in the last 7 years? No. Do i remember literally everything from those books? Yes
I headcanon that Crowley just miracles hundreds of T bottles and Estrogen pills for the trans people who don’t have access to gender affirming healthcare
Lisa is such a trans ally literally love her
wow I can't believe they made cole sprouse transgender and gave him bottom surgery via murder and a tanning bed, glad to have my opinions agreed with on this one (that frankenstein's creation has always been trans)
Hot take i don’t think kangaroos look like they have lungs
Petition to make him the next tumblr sexyman. He’s a girls girl.
The way Lisa frankenstein’s director made these characters ARE SO GOOOOOD. So the movie seems like a very stereotypical chick flick romance movie, girl falls in love with a boy and they help eachother evolve. In that way it is, however the portrayal of other characters are completely different in the best way possible. In all the other romance movies with the main character being the loner, the family and popular kids are always portrayed as really awful people who don’t care abt anyone but themselves, however not Lisa Frankenstein!! Lisa has 3 family members: Her dad, step mom, and step sister. Her step mom is genuinely a bitch but in a really realistic way. Her step sister is super popular, super pretty, goes to parties, is a cheerleader, has half the boys at school wrapped around her fingers, and is a mommy and daddy’s girl. In every way the movie set her up for being demonized BUT THEY DIDNT. She was genuinely so nice and had a really sisterly bond with Lisa. She made Lisa feel welcomed and safe and was always there for her. and Lisa genuinely loved her as well. Even when they had a fight, Lisa still protected her. Taffy (athe step sister) was constantly shown as a good friend and the only person Lisa could rely on. When at school, Lisa has virtually no friends while Taffy is friends with a bunch of cheerleaders. Yet again, the movie had every chance to demonize the cheerleaders BUT THEY DIDNT!! This movie was absolutely amazing at portraying realistic people in an unrealistic setting. A lot of teen movies don’t accurately portray Teenagers but this movie did. I loved Taffy so much she’s such a sweetheart
LISA AND FRANKENSTEIN ARE THE ULTIMATE AUTISTIC COUPLE GOALS (Nonverbal and talks a lot)
Lisa and Frankenstein are goth couple goals (Reanimator and the corpse)
Ok so rant time i love love Hozier he’s literally a lyrical genius, especially with one of his MOST UNDERRATED SONGS EVER, son of Nyx. Ok so Son of Nyx is one of his songs on his newest Album, Unreal Unearth. The whole premise of the album absolutely AMAZING and so so creative. If y’all don’t know, unreal unearth is an album representing the 7 circles of hell. Every song fits into a different ring and ajanbddj the way he represents this concept is so new and cool. So Son if Nyx is such an interesting song if you reslly look into it. The song is super different than the rest of his songs, it’s more of a classical whimsical piece with no almost no words than some echos of other songs on the album. The concept however makes sense for this. Nyx is such a highly stigmatized entity due to her being associated with the dark and monsters, so it would make sense that a son of such a goddess would be different than his peers so such a different fits perfectly!!! Not only is that so creative but the ring of hell that this song falls into is Heretics. Heretics is when a person disagrees or doesn’t fit in with generally acceptable ideals WHICH MAKES SO MUCH SENSE FOR A SON OF NYX, A PERSON WHOS VERY EXISTANCE WOULD GO AGAINST ACCEPTED NORMS OF THE WORLD. Also the song being so different than the rest of his songs ALSO IS THEREFORE NOT FITTING IN AND REPRESENTS HERETIC SO WELL
