When you marry off your daughter and immediately demote her husband so she’s in charge vs when you have to choose one of your cringefail sons to inherit your empire
Side-by-side meme of Gordon Ramsey saying “Oh dear, oh dear, gorgeous” to a child and “you fucking donkey” to an offscreen adult.

I went to see the new Knives Out movie at my local theater today. They were also showing Frank. #Frank

this morning I took a walk past a historic cemetery and cried over a gravestone from the 1800s.
meme of the Undertaker looming behind another wrestler. the first wrestler is labeled 'Me crying over the human condition "because of my love for history"' while the undertaker is labeled 'my period.'

I genuinely love it when I’m reading a scholarly book/article and the author momentarily drops their professional tone for a funny little aside.
Photo of a footnote. The relevant passage is “The more practical Altan Tobchi, 11, says, that the hunters saw a spot where Hö’elün had peed on the ground and deduced from the color that she would bear strong sons (!).” Photo of a passage. The relevant quote is “Identity has become acts, and even speech has become identity. Following the mathematical principle ‘if A = B and if B = C, then A = C. The military’s logic is that speech is tantamount to sodomy! (Who knew? All those years I have been doing it the old-fashioned way.)”

🎀Infidelity
🎀Semi-public sex

Qin Su loves her husband, and she would never cheat on him, no matter how disappointed she might be in their (nonexistent) sex life. But this, obviously, doesn't count.

Me (privately) (not in the comments b/c I’m not a barbarian) when people have opinions about characters’ sex lives I disagree with:

After failing to find any of the relevant secondary sources in a format I can access, I finally came across a primary source on the Internet Archive, skimmed through the (English) introduction… and realized the entire rest of the document is in Arabic.

I mean obviously it wasn’t just for the memes, there was solid martial strategy behind it, but still, I imagine the civilians looking at this new wall with the befuddled expression of dogs whose owners just barked at them. Like that’s not how it’s supposed to work?

This guy’s ONE JOB was to let some caravans pass through his province so his boss the sultan would get a friendly new trading partner by the name of Genghis Khan. And instead he spurred the creation of the largest contiguous land empire in human history. Nice job, guy.
When the caravan entered Khwarizm in the northwestern province of Otrar, now located in southern Kazakhstan, the arrogant and greedy governor seized the goods and killed the merchants and their drivers. He had no idea what a grievous response would follow. As the Persian observer Juvain explained, the governor's attack not only wiped out a caravan, it "laid waste a whole world."

Not continuing the chain properly because this is an unoriginal thought but it’s got to be Let’s Go Birds Transsexual

I'm thinking of maybe making myself a sweater, possibly with a basic design like this. and hopefully most people will consider it Fashion but probably some knitters will be like "you didn't buy your yarn at once, did you?" and I will say NOPE.

Okay I’m not usually a huge XiYao writer but I’m thoroughly enjoying the dynamic between Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane and I 100% think someone should write a XiYao AU about it.
'By all means,' said Harriet. 'Where did you come from?' ‘From London-like a bird that hears the call of its mate.' 'I didn't began Harriet. 'I didn't mean you. I meant the corpse. But still, talking of mates, will you marry me?' 'Certainly not.' 'I thought not, but I felt I might as well ask the question. Did you say they had found the body?' "That's what I want to find out. I'll have to be off now. I'll try and be back tonight, so don't worry.' 'I'm not worrying,' retorted Harriet, indignantly. 'I'm perfectly happy.' 'Splendid. Oh! While I'm about it, shall I see about getting a marriage-licence?' 'Don't trouble, thank you.’ "Very well; I just thought I'd ask. I say, while I'm away, how would it be if you put in some good work with the other professional dancers here? You might get hold of some gossip about Paul Alexis.'

Okay sorry to derail but on a related note I took this photo of an Art of War coloring book the other day and I have been dying to ask someone smarter than me how Sun Tzu would feel about it.

The Divorced NieYao Lifetime Movie Fic is officially coming to an AO3 near you on October 21! 🍿
He couldn't really complain. Yes, there were downsides to working for the family business.Yes, he worked too much. Yes, he sometimes lay awake at night reflecting miserably on the circumstances that had led to him becoming a divorced single parent by age 35. Yes, on the worst of those nights he found himself thinking of his ex-husband and remembering the warmth of his smile and the softness of his long hair and the security of his embrace. Yes, everything had felt better when they were together, and the concept of fucking up had been just a little less terrifying when he could trust that he had someone on his side. Things had been harder for his mother. That was always what he came back to. Meng Shi had done it, and so would he, and he would do whatever he had to do because it was all for Juliang. She was bright and energetic and bold and kind. She had decided that when she grew up she wanted to be either the first female Major League Baseball player or the first Chinese mayor-maybe president, but definitely mayor, because people didn't realize how much stuff the mayor could do but it was really a lot. She knew every word to every song on the radio and had created a nine-slide PowerPoint arguing why she deserved to get her ears pierced. She had his mother's eyes.

I'm watching the new episode of Taskmaster and this frame nearly killed me. I had just taken a bite of cheesecake and went into paroxysms of laughter.

Ha! I’m reading this book at the moment. Slightly different focus but similar general idea, and the author tells a good story!

oh yeah that's VERY different from how I would use it. like here are the summaries for two fics I wrote for that tag in the Band of Brothers fandom. I used canon compliant to mean "those scenes of the war that you put on screen definitely happened."

From Christopher Atwood’s translation of The Secret History of the Mongols. I just think this is very NieYao-coded and romantic 💕
46. The idea of 'taking a pillow' (dere ab-) meant killing one of one's killers so that one's body would have a cushion to lie on in the grave.
