-  Where is she?

Hell Yeah

I love how varied and universally weird the circumstances for making lifelong friendships are. Here's this guy I accidentally messaged once and I could not imagine my life without them now. Here's this girl I was so scared of when I met her, I would kill for her and remind her to rest on the regular. Here's this other guy we have so much in common we used to joke we were the same person in different timelines. It took us years to meet in person and I attended his wedding. There are also people who entered my life in absolutely unremarkable ways but changed it forever for the better. It's wonderful how easy it is to find people to love.

This is the best post I have ever written, read the notes and be blessed by loving your friends magic

HE 👏 WENT 👏 LOOKING 👏 FOR 👏 TROUBLE 👏

The euros fail to consider the form: it’s not Johnny’s hubris that is the subject of the song. It’s the devil’s, who thinks his power is worth more than simple love for a craft

neither americans nor the modern era have any sort of monopoly on one-upping the devil. one of the oldest european folk tales is The Smith and the Devil, in which a smith makes a deal with the devil for his soul and when the devil comes to collect, the smith tricks him into leaving him alone forever. tricking that bastard is an old and storied tradition.

"average person who makes a deal with the devil is dragged to hell after 10 years" factoid actually just statistical error. average person who makes a deal with the devil uses their new hellish gifts to outwit the old bastard so they can keep both gifts and soul for the rest of their long and prosperous lives. faust, who bargained for knowledge of all things and then wasted his 10 years chasing a girl who wasn't all that into him, is an idiot and should not have become the cornerstone of modern understanding of the trope.

Found this on an old post by a seemingly-deleted account and it is my very honest reaction:

"if things got hard i wouldn't let my friend live with me it's hard to live with someone and it's exhausting " true but i would kill for my friend, to give them a place to stay in hardship would be nothing to me. because I'm not a pussy.

i could be living in a cardboard box and i still would make space for a friend

oh you know its happening

this is a typo in a textbook written by the professor of this class, it cost me $105, i will be sharing with the world

I understand that museums have to be dark because light can destroy fragile artifacts. That said, I’m always afraid to walk around the blind corners because what if there is a skeleton

Okay yes sometimes there’s a skeleton, I understand how museums work. But I mean what if it gets me

Fact: you can absolutely kick a skeleton's ass. You are a skeleton wearing biological power armor. Skeletons of adult humans typically weigh less than 30 pounds. You are in a superior weight class by orders of magnitude.

i wish someone had told me that when i was a kid and terrified of having to fight a skeleton

We don’t have a uniform, why do you ask?

WHERE IS THE LIE

this is definitely NOT the moon girl episode with a trans character that disney shelved and has no plans on airing and i am definitely NOT advising you to spread it around like wildfire in retaliation to this stupid-ass chickenshit coward decision. i repeat, i am DEFINITELY not encouraging you to spread this episode around like crazy to show disney that trans people will not bow down to the whims of the people that want them dead. definitely DON'T do that. definitely

don't reblog THIS version of the post, since it definitely does not have a link to the archive upload of the episode that got shelved :)

Woahhhhhh!!!

I drew the guy!!!

I messed some things up but I still like the drawing so I’m posting it anyway :P

taako, laying on the floor on a Saturday night with a near empty bottle of wine and a full face of makeup: I’m alone because I choose to be.

magnus and merle: we’ve literally been here all day
