Yes, absolutely. I mean, it’s not like Starfleet is a professional environment. So it’s totally cool that two bridge officers are having a relationship that apparently negatively affects their ability to interact with each other professionally, while their commanding officer engages in disrespectful and inappropriately personal gossip with one of them about the other. Starfleet’s finest, folks.

ARGGH. JJ Abrams I hate you so much.

thinhline: The myth that people who commit suicide feel they have a choice in the matter continues despite my best intentions. What pisses me off about the “it’s not MURDER” people is that it might make sense to debate that with you if you had any power to actually punish those guys. I mean, if you were in charge of them legally, then convincing you would have some practical point other than defending rapists from being called nasty words. As it is, though, it seems there are people out there whose first reaction to a comic about a girl who was raped and then bullied until she committed suicide is, “Hey, let’s make sure the terminology we use to describe the bullies/rapists isn’t TOO HARSH!” Like, do they get that this is something that actually happened?

Actually,  the photographs are spaced ten years apart, not sixteen.

1912 to 1922.

The young, homeless (but no less dapper) wanderer shown in the first survived the sinking of the Titanic and swam to the shores of West Egg. There he built a life and a large, empty house, in an effort to win the heart of the wealthy, upper class woman he’d fallen in love with a decade earlier and had been separated from against his will.

He shed his earlier identity, and changed his name to reflect his new station. Jack was now known as Jay Gatsby, the eccentric millionaire who threw parties every night in the hopes that one day his love would show up and spin with him as they had long ago in the dance hall of the lower decks.

#and he still ends up dead floating in the water

holy shit

And then, at the beginning of Inception, he starts out washed up on a shore.

still no oscar

D: Definitely reblog this so everyone knows!  *frets over how many ducks she’s potentially killed* *is horrified* Given how many people feed bread to ducks, I’m pretty confident that if this were a SERIOUS problem, there wouldn’t be any ducks left at city ponds. (Not to say it isn’t a problem AT ALL, feel free to stop feeding bread to ducks, but I doubt anyone individually has killed lots of ducks.) View high resolution
