u know the trope of mean girls saying something nice to someone’s face then badmouthing them when they walk away, well yesterday I experienced the better version which was a girl walking past a group of girls and waving and they all demurely said hi and kept walking and when she was out of earshot one of them said “I seriously think I would die for her” and the rest said “RIGHT??”

so here’s the problem. I once yelled because I saw a centipede and my boyfriend commentated “a friend!” and when I said “no!” he added “and maybe....... a lover..” the problem is. now this has become standard procedure for referring to centipedes. so now I get messages like:

WHY IS MY NAME BEEF IN YOUR PHONE

you know................. like bf...............

admittedly I don’t normally like modern shakespeare adaptations but once I went to see my cousin in a midsummer night’s dream and it opened with a high schooler saying “I don’t wanna read this play” so he sits down and eats an entire chipotle burrito on stage and then immediately falls asleep and the play begins but instead of the forest the faeries all hang out in a rainforest cafe TM and at one point in the middle of a scene the guy from the beginning just slowly drifts across the back of the stage on a skateboard, staring at all the characters as the events of the play transpire in the form of some sort of chipotle-induced coma lucid dream

THAT is EXACTLY what Shakespeare would have wanted

I swear if this isn’t floating around on the internet I’m gonna cry

Oh buddy IT’S ABOUT TO BE. I am like, 98% sure this was my high school’s production and I’ve got photos and video clips like craaaazy…

Here are some fun additions… the Mechanicals were also based on the characters of The Breakfast Club (here I am below, eating an actual Captain Crunch and Pixie Stix sandwich on stage.)

…and the one on the longboard was actually our Puck - he rode it through the whole play in the background. Please note his “Forest Cafe” shirt… which we also had logos for on the cups.

…and we had both a flash mob at the end AND an interlude where myself and one of the other Fairies danced to “Sexy and I Know It” while we were cleaning up the tables at the cafe.

I will post more of this later. I have a DVD at my house and will endure cringing at myself to bring you some quality clips… there’s probably one of K eating the burrito before the start of the play, too.

@hullaballoons Here is more Ktown Lore for you 

@cupcakelirry 

Here ya go kids… all 2h20m. if you make it through the whole thing once, that’s probably more times than any of the cast watched this DVD. You can probably see why. Tbh if you watch this, I am sorry in advance.

Important notes:

- Chipotle burrito makes a cameo about 30 min in,

- the end has a flash mob and a “commercial” for the Forest Cafe, 

- unfortunately, the lunch scene where all the mechanicals whistle like the Breakfast Club got mostly cut for some reason?

–

@vampireapologist in case you have any interest in reliving this… at the very least you can prove to any doubters that there was, in fact, a Chipotle burrito onstage.

I cannot even fully conceptualize, much less put into words, how wild this chain of events has been.

I have dozens of posts going around that have broken 50,000 notes, and plenty that have broken 100,000.

On every single one of these posts, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of comments and tags calling me a liar and the story fake, but none so much as this post.

This post was my most doubted of all.

And you came in………

with a Two and a Half Hour Long video.

I’ll never forget this.

We have a bond forged in fire and spirit now.

this kid’s post and his replies to people’s questions are so pure I’m sobbing

What’s better— the thread is filled with people giving some good advice on how to respect a woman’s boundaries and how to ask what she would be okay with, publicly. Lots of trans girls thanking him for being so patient and thoughtful with his words, and lots of people cautioning him that his purpose as a boyfriend would be to keep her safe, even from his own friends and family if need be. A+ shit right here.

This is so FUCKING cute help me

I’ve always liked Tom Hiddleston but this just made me fall in love with him

it makes me so happy that the sailor moon lady and hxh guy are married and have been happily married for like 20 years with 2 kids

YEAH SHE QUIT AN ANIME BECAUSE IT WAS UNFAIR 2 HER AND THEN THEY MADE A DIFFERENT MANGA SERIES AND GOT MARRIED!

they’ve been supporting each other’s work for a really long time too and they both really support lgbt people and have both in their series (handled well too!!!) it makes me so happy :-)

i also learned today that the sailor moon uniforms are based off of uniforms she wore in high school! she also actually went to school to be a chemist because she was discouraged from becoming a mangaka due to her gender, and she wrote sailor moon while working as a pharmacist (she studied ultrasounds and stuff!)

so yeah!! @darkskinnedprivilege isnt that so sweet im crying

also a quick google search shows these things:

she explains lesbians to japanese children :D they’re also very explicitly gay

and the hxh author did an AmA recently for his new series and confirmed this

he also wrote one of the few very good trans girls in anime/manga, Alluka (who’s handled very well!)

bonus: this is just funny

it just makes me very happy that some of the most famous mangaka are very openly supportive of gay and trans people, and are pretty happily married.

also: this is important because both of these series were written in the 90’s and are very explicit and accurate with their LGBT stuff for the times, and actually represent each member of the LGBT (lesbians in sailor moom, gay men in yuyu hakusho, bi people in sailor moon, transgender people in hxh!)

it really goes against the notion that mangaka in Japan can’t be held to standards because of shonen jump/different info, considering misses naoko’s magnum opus sailor moon has had well-handled, realistic lesbians and it came out in like 1991! sailor moon is often credited for introducing the west to anime and manga, as well.

they also are like.. good heterosexuals and pretty consistently dispell the whole “so sometimes you just gotta get away from your annoying wife 😆” things, and support each other fully!

anyway, i love them.

only real straight ally is this guy

Concept: A gender reveal party but AFTER the kid is born.

Like when the kid is 6 or 12 or 18 or 24. When the kid has decided what their gender is or isn’t.

This is so fucking beautiful that I have no words.

I will always reblog this.

This has been an emotional rollercoaster

Mary Fucking Joseph you have no idea. Neil motherlicking Gaiman just answered. Without warning. And quite thoughtfully. 

I haven’t known a moment’s peace, I exist on eggshells and unreinforced styrofoam, quietude is but a concept I fantasize and sometimes cry about 

How many actually answered, again?

Sperm whale mimics a spinning diver.

Humans: *encounters Earth’s Largest Carnivore, who would could swallow them whole, probably*

Human: … Spin?

Earth’s largest carnivore, with a brain that weighs almost as much as this naked beach ape*: SPIN!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SPERM WHALES ARE CARNIVORES

I THOUGHT THEY ATE KRILL AND STUFF LIKE OTHER WHALES

Nope! Sperm whales eat extremely large deep-sea squids, like the Giant and Colossal Squids. They have also been known to opportunistically eat dead whales, sharks, and seals, but not actively hunt them. They got real big teeth for it too:

However, they only have teeth on thier bottom jaw!  they have corresponding holes in their top jaw for the teeth to lock into, which makes hanging onto a slippery, boneless squid:

It should be noted that the human here isn’t in particular danger of being eaten on purpose, but an accidental swing of it’s multi-ton head, a clip from the teeth, or being directly in the line of it’s sonar could seriously injure or kill them- Divers that have been in the direct line of echolocation for a sperm whale calf have described being hit with the soundwave like “being kicked by a horse” and some have suffered internal organ damage.  Sperm whales, like other large whales, aren’t particularly aggressive towards humans, but they are still very large wild animals who behave in unpredictable ways.

I know that in US waters, it’s illegal to intentionally come within 300 yards of any whale or dolphin, and if one appears closer you should turn off your engine or stop paddling to avoid accidental injury to you or it.  This human is doing something dangerous and ill-advised, but it’s still hopeful that we can love something like a 130,000 lb deep-diving, squid-eating Oceanic former ungulate.

Im.sorry I’ve lived my entire life not realizing that echolocation could possibly be felt and I have to come to terms with the fact that whales have sonic attacks

Organ damage from being directly in the path of its sonar. Every time I read that I’m just stunned!

@muslimfinn

After this week, this gives me faith

he’s mirroring! cats do that to be social that’s also why they will lie on laptops or books. they want to do what their humans are doing because they enjoy being in the same room and socializing that way. getting him his own prayer mat was a really good idea bc now he gets to mirror without being in the way!

The other thing is that cats have a very good sense of time and tend to like regular schedules. If OP’s family members pray every day at the same times, in the same place, the cat knows the drill and probably considers this an official Household Activity which requires Feline Supervision.

This cat is Muslim and there’s nothing anyone can do about that
