being on tumblr for a long time but never reading homestuck like

Hospital Playlist is like my fantasy life--having friends who you play band with, having a demanding but still rewarding job, having a love life at 40, being handsome/pretty at 40, having money to play with

i find it so interesting how people act like "critically examining a piece of media" is the opposite of "enjoying that piece of media." rip to you but i actually find it really enjoyable and compelling to dissect and think through the art i engage with

Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me

sometimes you do just have to lie to children.

If, when my toddler is, you know, toddling around saying “mama? Big ball?”

If I were lean down and say “unfortunately the big beach ball for some reason fills you with such an unadulterated rage that is beyond human comprehension that you scream until you pass out, so mama had to remove the beach ball from the premises until you can better regulate your emotions” she would simply stare at me like I had 3 heads full of equal betrayal.

So, for now, instead “big ball went night night!”

Please understand when I say “removed the ball from the premises” I mean I popped it in a fit of exhausted confusion. I murdered the beach ball.

See I’ve lied to you all too and it was better this way.

you can’t just leave this in the tags etc.

You can’t be funnier then me on my own posts, I’m in tears from laughter

[ID: tags: "#that wasn't a lie though the big ball did go night night #it went to the great night night that awaits us all" /end ID]

one of my favorite things about FMA's worldbuilding is that you get to gradually realize how edward elric is the only person who dresses like that

Fucked up how this is true

i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

People act like voice training is unnatural or meant as a “trick” and then I get to sit in my office and listen to every single one of my cis coworkers change their pitch of their voice up or down whenever they’re on the phone

“voice training is unnatural” what does the phrase “customer service voice” refer to

Also unnatural things are fine actually. Your clothing is an unnatural addition to your appearance. Makeup is unnatural. Glasses are unnatural. Hair dye is unnatural. If you ever had braces your teeth are unnaturally straight and if you ever had life saving medical treatment you're unnaturally alive. The natural human presentation isn't some pure thing to be protected.

Yeah that sounds about right

me when someone complains about something that's been genuinely bothering me too but i just brushed it off because i was worried that i was just bitchy/callous/sensitive but now I feel Vindicated
