Love me, normally

tumblr discourse after 13 years on this fucking website

@teaboot's tags because Yes:

Actually yeah that should be in the post. Hell yeah

me watching monsters inc as a kid: how did it take so long for anyone to figure out that human child laughter not only produced energy like screams, but was more effective, and that children aren’t actually dangerous at all?

me watching monsters inc now: monsters incorporated, a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, stood to make extra profits off a scream shortage because low supply with high demand makes it possible to charge a fortune for a necessary commodity and everyone has no choice but to pay the high prices because they can’t go without electricity. Therefore Monsters Inc, as well as any other major powers that may have existed at the start of the era of using scream energy, fabricated the idea that only screams could generate sustainable energy sources in order to create artificial scarcity, because laugh energy was far easier to obtain and far more efficient, and therefore stood to lower the value of energy due to surplus. They also fabricated the idea that human children were toxic, in order to a) make other monsters too afraid to go near them to do research and possibly discover the secret of laugh energy, and b) to make monsters so afraid of going near them that there is a shortage of scarers, making it harder for rival companies to rise up and create competition. Even in the monster world, capitalism is based on lies, greed and cruelty, and even monster companies have no qualms about using and abusing children to maximize profits.

yeah okay ill reblog that

I'm normal in a lot of ways (enjoy bread, etc)

holy shit y’all should watch this one, what an admirable person

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

This keeps him busy for the rest of the night.

Oh no

remember in 2007 or 2008 when emo was at its peak and gay marriage wasn't legal and so we had boys in eyeliner and skirts making out with each other at the mall in protest. i think we need this again

i know the floppy haired emo boys of 2006 and 2007 are in their late 30s now and perhaps even their 40s and they have jobs in tech and middle management but PLEASE. we need you. we need you to dye your hair black and put your fucking snakebites back in and paint your nails and go to the mall and kiss each other

i dont care that you have a wife if she's cool she'll get it

hi I'm only 32 actually, and I am still dressing like a vampire and sucking dick like a whore and listening to the classics. don't worry, there are hundreds of us.

excellent work already, soldier! now go to the mall and kiss a man!

I wouldn't even use 45; use 34 -- the number of felonies.

#6 tho

When I hear someone saying all is lost, for us, for for them, all I hear is someone giving up on every single person in a worse position than them.

It HURTS.

Both in a wider sense, and personally, because I am almost always more vulnerable than these people, and when I am not, I do always have loved ones who are.

I have never advocated for this before, not EVER, but:

Be very careful and extremely selective where and how and with whom you process your strongest difficult feelings. Do find an outlet, you need that, but be selective, and open to the possibility that it may look different than what you are currently doing.

I am not saying this because you should be silent, or to drive you away. I'm saying it because we are heading into a difficult (not impossible) situation that's very different anything most people from the USA have experienced before, and very different rules about how we talk about things and treat each other are going to apply.

It sucks and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm struggling with this SO MUCH. But right now you need to try, and to stand beside others, and that means not fueling their hopelessness...or causing them to push you further away because you are hurting them.

If you can't find anything to say besides something negative or hopeless, try "we are all in this together". Because it's true. And you must remember that.

We all must remember that.

….But he is right…. That’s a cuttlefish….

it’s not a cuttlefish

train wreck of a post. hit reblog

oww :(

we need to step away from viewing marriage as inherently romantic, or the primary goal of romance. marriage is a legal contract we use to create important ties--financial, medical, next-of-kin, mediating shared property and parental rights. the details vary a lot based on where you are and what paperwork you sign. which is not very romantic! but it does have many real-world effects on our ability to share our lives with our partners.

first and foremost, marriage is a legal right we use to build and protect our families, whatever that family may look like
