marysues are basically a power fantasy and yet only female power fantasies ever get called out and mocked. Batman is basically the most ridiculous marysue ever and yet hes a national symbol of bad assery I mean really. There’s nothing wrong with power fantasies back the fuck off 12 year old girl’s oc. Ok fuck you


"The Weeping Angels have gone from an incredibly creepy one-off villain into creatures that, like the Daleks before them, have lost any ability to inspire fear. They are only terrifying if they obey the rules that make them feel real … and these angels never do. They attack you in an instant if you blink, but Rory and Amy can look away from them for a good minute to debate how to defeat them without any dire consequences. They zap you back in time if they touch you, unless you’re River Song, in which case they just grab hold of your wrist and don’t let go. They always cover their eyes to protect themselves from being quantum locked, except when they don’t. They turn to stone when observed, but can cross a huge, vibrant city full of people with no problems. They only send people back in time when they are weak, otherwise they just kill them (a la Season 5), but when they’re superpowerful in New York, they stick to the back-in-time plan. And it’s lucky that there are no pictures of New York City landmarks, since an image of an angel is an angel and all."

update on the uk for everyone:

  • two men apparently hacked a serving soldier to death outside woolwich barracks whilst shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ 
  • they wanted to be filmed - and itv news duly broadcast a video of them, because they’re shits
  • one of the men said “You think politicians are going to die?  No, it’s going to be the average guy - like you - and your children.  So get rid of them. Tell them to bring our troops back so you can all live in peace”.
  • bbc news quoted whitehall quoting police saying one of the suspects was ‘of muslim appearance’.  thus far, only the bbc reporter has apologised.
  • the english defence league (shitty racists) were apparently fucking shit up overnight, and a couple of mosques got attacked; currently two men have been arrested
  • muslim leaders have been distancing themselves from the attacks and making it clear that they are as horrified as the rest of us
  • white leaders have yet to apologise for the EDL

you know you’ve made a good pun when everyone’s immediate response upon hearing it is “shut the fuck up”

#the highest compliment any pun can receive

it’s a puntastic feeling


There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams—not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.
