So i was looking at my swarm tour poster and has anyone considered this could be the ruins of DRAAG/the grand immortal dictator/the concrete age after theyve been overthrown or destroyed (which im assuming will happen - doesnt seem very mcr like that the fascists will survive). And that all of the swarm promo with the broken statues could have been hinting at the downfall of the concrete age/DRAAG all this time. I know the statues weren't made out of concrete but the symbolism is there
generally speaking when it comes to mental and physical health, if you're asked "do you struggle with this" and your answer is "no, Because I Have A System," then your answer is actually yes
Also, for ADHD symptoms specifically, if they ask something like, "Do you have trouble waiting your turn in conversations?" and your answer is, "No I'm a grown up I don't interrupt people," but you are constantly finishing sentences for people in your head and have formulated three replies before they finish talking.... the answer is yes, yes you do.
And if you can stay in your seat but are constantly bouncing a leg, clicking a pen, tapping out a rhythm on your thigh, or otherwise fidgeting, the answer is, yes, you do have trouble staying in your seat.
Neurotypicals do not require iron clad self control and three coping techniques to sit still during a meeting.
What if your answer is "No, I don't have trouble waiting my turn because I can't tell when it's my turn so I never take my turn."?

seeing ryan follow pete back on instagram is actually quite high on my list of insane things that have happened in the last few days Actually it may be number one
mfers will say "im against book banning in schools and libraries!" and then turn around and say ao3 needs to be censored
The people arguing to ban and/or remove content from Ao3 are completely and utterly convinced that censorship is different when they do it.
News flash, EVERYONE thinks EVERYTHING is different when they do it. Hint: it's not. It's exactly the same but people think THEIR righteousness is the exception when it's not.
It's all to "protect the children" but they'd be better protected by the truth as harsh and as ugly as it may be, so that they can prevent the past from repeating itself.

This is literally the plot of a Garfield comic strip
Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.
Seriously people, learn fandom etiquette. It exists, it exists for extremely good reasons, and it's been decades in the making.
You know the saying, 'OSHA regulations are written in blood'? Yeah, that applies to fandom etiquette. We didn't make this shit up to lord it over newcomers, these rules evolved as a form of fucking self-defense and by god we'll die on this hill.
So stop putting other people's fanfictions on KINDLE UNLIMITED!!!
In case you're unaware: that can (and will) get the writer and publisher a Cease & Desist and very possibly a lawsuit. Which they will lose.
Fanfic must be free or else it is breaking copyright — even advertising on a fanfic website is risky.
You do not own the copyright. You do not own the characters. You do not make money off copyrights that are not your own.
Who TF is putting fanfic on Kindle Unlimited??
Don't list it on fucking Goodreads either ffs.
And reminder that putting into your fic notes any kind of link to Ko-fi or Patreon or any kind of service where people gift you money? Not allowed. That constitutes as attempting to solicit profit from your fics, which is legally not allowed. The only real thing protecting fanfiction is the fact that it's free; that the authors make zero profit off it. If you add in your ko-fi link, you're asking to make a profit.
using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me
my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament
#no one wants this presidents shoelaces #so yeah we had to update the pass-phrases @ayrki these cannot be left in the tags
every time a new hour starts i experience pure terror as i refresh every social media profile my chemical romance have just in case

it's interesting how black parade takes cabaret and depoliticizes it ALMOST completely (totally not there in extratextual talk like interviews & the bts book; there are hints in some lyrics and "mama" and some stylistic things butttt. it is not even 1% of CABARET). speaks to the self-centeredness of the album which is definitely criticized By the Album itself but not to the total extent cabaret criticizes itself for ITS self-centeredness. black parade is a totally different playing field of self-centeredness (by making the entire setting the inner life of its 1 main character) which it never addresses in terms of greater world ignorance rather than just interpersonal / physical ignorance
OK SO. IN CONNECTION TO THIS LATER POST
AND THIS NEW FUCKING. AWESOME SHIT THEYRE DOING.
THIS IS CLEARLY. A MATURATION. OF THE THEMES. I GENUINELY THOUGHT I WAS READING INTO SEVERELY. UNPRECEDENTED.

way back in 10th grade i had gym class with a scary girl with neon green & black hair who chewed flavored condoms like chewing gum and once showed me a picture of her boyfriend's back scratched completely bloody. she only ever addressed me as "eyeliner." one day i asked why.
"cuz of your big gay stupid pretty eyelashes"
"....shouldn't it be 'mascara,' then?"
"shut up, eyeliner."
anyway that's why i'm gay now
i think she knew before anyone, dude. i think she looked straight into my soul and saw a girl she wanted to bully
i want you to imagine you're in 10th grade and a girl blows a big green bubble at you and snaps it back in her mouth and you say "can i have a piece of gum" and she rolls her eyes and says "it's a condom, eyeliner. green apple." i'm still not over it
"Good Boy."
Many different species of lethal embarrassment in the world, but none quite so lethal as convincing a friend to sit down and watch a movie/show which changed your life when you first saw it only to realize with dawning horror that it's mid at best.
Bonus points if there's a bunch of really racist/sexist/homophobic bits that you genuinely didn't catch the first time around because you were like fourteen, but now you're thirty and experiencing it for the first time in over a decade, and Jesus fuck.
Imagine River coming to visit her parents one night and falling asleep on the sofa, and Rory puts a blanket over her and a pillow under her head but internally he’s grieving the fact that he never got to carry small-her upstairs and into her own bedroom and kiss her forehead goodnight, and she’s too big now and they don’t really know each other
