One of my favorite categories of taz headcanon is “random stuff lucretia forgot to erase”

Content like that.  I live for it.

Magnus getting naked in the middle of a meeting with the Director and receiving no reaction is my favorite not-canon-but-canon instance where Lucretia forgets that she’s not supposed to let on that she spent a lifetime sharing a home with these doofuses

I almost never reblog tiktok vids, but if you are artistic/creative in anyway, like in ANYWAY- writing, drawing, textile arts, a musician, a dancer - WHATEVER, however you explore/self express through the arts - LISTEN to what he’s saying because it applies to YOU.

I don’t engage with posts that wear me out so I’m making my own post to say that if you’re middle class and you go to a thrift store to get clothes to cut up for your crafts and sewing or support your purse collecting habit that’s fine.

You’re not a gentrifier. You’re not taking resources away from less fortunate people who need them more because thrift stores are businesses, not services, so the more you patronize them the more they expand. I used to work at a thrift store and my boss told me we threw away about half of our donations from the street because they were too damaged or dirty and we threw away another half of the merchandise on the floor that didn’t sell. And that was before Marie Kondo got popular.

So yeah those sheets would look better on somebody’s bed than as a tablecloth you made but they look better as your craft project than getting thrown away. You don’t know. And you’re paying the store to stay open and put another set of sheets out tomorrow. So feel free to shop at thrift stores especially if you donate to them.

I know we talk about purity culture a lot but one thing that I think stemmed from that (and is really annoying to have to explain every time it comes up) is the idea that you have to justify a bad character’s actions before you can like them. antagonists and villains make a story interesting, it’s okay to like them just because they’re entertaining or the aesthetic is cool or you like a foil to the hero or whatever. villains are interesting. you can enjoy them without explaining why they’re actually totally innocent and misinterpreted or whatever

reasons I have liked villains/antagonists before without agreeing with their actions:

“this character did this bad thing though” yes have you considered that, as an antagonist, that is literally their purpose

however I should clarify: if you DONT like a villain or antagonist solely because of their actions, or for whatever reason either, that’s fine too! no one is obligated to feel a certain way about a character. my point with this post is specifically to address the way some people think you can only like a character if you agree or support their actions.

i love tumblr. what other social media site would run a campaign urging people to get the fuck off of their platform right the hell now

I’d like to live through a week that’s not a whole new verse of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

Whenever I see people discoursing online about how all fiction must model good behavior and explicitly state that any bad behavior depicted is wrong, lest someone in the audience mistake it for “glorifying,” all I can think of is that line from Arrested Development where Buster, in his mid-30s, objects to something by saying “that’s not the way mother is raising me”

Like yeah maybe YA books and kids’ cartoons have a responsibility to demonstrate the difference between Right and Wrong, since the audience is, like, actual children, but if you’re consuming literally anything more advanced than Disney XD’s Ducktales, you should absolutely be expected to bring your own moral framework from home and not need your media to spoon-feed morality to you

if you see a show about a a man manufacturing and selling methamphetamine while abusing his wife and murdering people and you can’t tell whether the author intends for you to think his actions are right or wrong? That might be more your problem than the text’s. You might just, at that point, be an idiot.

[banging on the notes of this post with a broomstick from below] yo shut the fuck up in there

so sad that we are surrounded by birds and most ppl dont even look at them. how can you look at the beloved pigeon and not admire its stupid little waddle and delightful little rump? how can you see the humble house sparrow and not be enraptured by its adorable little cap and splendid black bib? how can you see a seagull and not admire it’s size (very big when you think about it) and it’s tenacity in targeting humans, the most obnoxious and dangerous of all gods creatures? open your eyes 

the supernatural news would be funny at any time but the tension floating around life currently has made it absolutely HYSTERICAL

hell world

i love when ppl who constantly use self deprecating humor interact with me, theyre never sure how to react. theyre like "lol well we all hate ourselves anyways" and im like "no, im sexy as hell actually" like oil and water everytime. please be nicer to yourself, and also im never going to verbally agree with the assumption that i must hate myself

Spare a thought for all the computers that didn’t sign up for this shit
