• oliver is so good at pretending this is all new thoughts to him and he hasn’t been spinning them around in his brain for 5 years “you know i think that’s a really wise way of looking at it” “the introduction of eddie is buck turning around in slow motion” “if we go back over the years there’s all these moments” okay you’ve just been WAAAITING TO SAy this

  • attention this is your captain speaking chag sameach pesach to all celebrating and a reminder do not open the airlock to greet elijah the vulcan rabbinic council ruled that opening the door to the room where the seder is occurring is sufficient elijah can get on a starship just fine himself he just likes to be personally invited in to your seder we dont need another incident like last year thank you

  • knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.

    knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

  • two things i’m noticing in the notes:

    1. every artist/crafter/cook agreeing that influencers in their communities also pull shit like this

    2. ppl shouting out their fav old lady tutorials and being like “i would die for u diane”

  • @basaltbutch

  • i’ve seen people say “oh, buck is canonically bi now which means all the past buddie moments are now canonically queer” and just. yeah. they are. and they were supposed to be. not just because buck is out now which means he was subconsciously flirting with eddie in all of their scenes but because he was written as queer even back then. when oliver stark said “buck has always been a bisexual man” he didn’t just mean the character within the context of the 911 universe. buck has always been a bisexual man within the text and the script and the scenes and the acting choices. this was always where he would end up, this is where they’ve been trying to take him for years. what the FUCK.
