guys listen

mermaids would have to be dark-skinned and chubby to survive in the ocean 

water isnt a great means of protecting oneself from the sun theyd have to be very dark if they were shallow mermaids and they didnt want to be constantly sunburnt and they may be paler if they lived deeper in the water but theyd have to be buff and/or chubby as hell to resist the water pressure and cold of the deep sea

what im saying is pale-ass white skinny mermaids are just unrealistic

Growing up fat, you get made fun of for everything you do, even basic shit like eating and laughing and breathing are funny when you do it because youre fat! And its so hard to not carry that with you as you get older, like I’m still embarassed to eat or dance in front of people or smile in pictures and its ridiculous and I hate it and I wish I was treated with more humanity

if you didn’t believe that England hates Donald Trump already: the most recent news of his visit today is that the mayor of London approved protestors releasing a £16,000 Trump in-a-diaper balloon to fly 98ft above ground when he visits, and literally no British person is surprised. Welcome to London.

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener

i live for the day rosie learns what the word gay means and she proceeds to ask john “dad is sherlock gay?” and john goes into this fucking endless spluttering explanation about how sherlock is a very complicated person and we just. we just don’t know. we can’t be sure. one time a woman sent him 57 text messages so probably not. and the next time they’re over at 221B rosie looks up from sherlock’s picture book about poisonous plants she’s studying with her plush bumblebee, gives sherlock a look and asks “are you gay, sherlock?” and sherlock, without missing a beat, just says “yes” and continues drinking his tea and rosie says “ah” and goes back to her plant book and john nearly doubles over in the corner SAkfjalsöölsakdjflsdjEFpsflksdjfslfjsfk

-Ebb has been crushing on a wood nymph for years, and is gay as well. 

some underrated things/scenes or things people forget

so i was reading carry on for the 83728181th time and came across a bunch of extremely underrated scenes or things people forget.

- ebb literally thought simon and baz were dating, or at the most, friends.

- penny wears actual capes because she says it make her feel like stevie nicks

- baz tried to wank away his feelings for simon over their fifth year summer

- lucy is a ghost during the book, because she states in one of her characters that she was caught between life and full death

- the library scene

- baz trusted simon enough to let him eat in front of him.

- simon has speech issues

- simon is queer. his sexuality was never stated during the book, he just said that he thinks he might be gay, but his therapist said he doesn’t even need to think about it.

- the epilouge scene

- penny and baz made simon carry up all the furniture into simon and penny’s apartment despite simon being the one with no magic

- pumpkin mocha breeve

- simon thinks he killed the mage, but it wasn’t his or penny’s fault, he said “stop it, stop hurting me” and the magic deemed it the only way or the mage to stop hurting him

- penny’s sister stayed up until 4am in christmas eve

- some idiot named marcus from the old families got trapped in fucking dumbwaiter in their fourth year

- penny is number 2. on simon’s ‘what i miss most about watford’ list

- they do their own laundry and dishes at watford.

- the floor between the second and third floor, the ‘echo’ floor, that imitates everything that happens on the floor above, a day later.

- “i know it’s distasteful, but imagine—you’re a pixie, and you have a daughter, you name her trixie. trixie the pixie.” … “ thats like a fairy named mary,” “or a vampire named gampire.”

- agatha though that lucy salisbury looked like baby spice

- this book has a fucking lesbian pixie

- simon thinks baz looks like gangster when he slicks his hair back

- simon sleeps with the windows open all year round

that’s all i could think of and find, thanks for reading. please add any more if you can think of them.

Because Rowell said Baz’s suit is Gucci inspired, and I thought of that really old Yu Yu Hakusho meme.

A headcanon I literally cackled about

Simon has wings and he’s keeping them, according to Rainbow’s Twitter. So as someone who naturally overthinks everything, I have to wonder how Simon deals with shirts.

I know his wings can be hidden with magic, but what about when he’s just at home relaxing? His wings would be pretty difficult to deal with when it comes to shirts. (I don’t think the tail would be as much of a problem when it comes to pants, since it sprouts from the bottom of his spine)

So I got to thinking. Sure, Simon could cut slits in the back of his shirts, but imagine trying to fit his big dragon wings into tiny slits in fabric. I would get pissed off within five minutes and just tear the shirt, and I feel like Simon would too.

So Penny and Simon come up with a solution: backless tops. I’m talking halter tops, scoop back tops, tube tops, shoulderless tops, all kinds of things with low backs to allow Simon’s wings freedom.

So here we have Simon Snow just waltzing around his flat in these delicate, pretty, fluttery tops that drape off his shoulders and cling to his waist and chest and accentuate his neck and when Baz sees Simon in them he melts and just stares at him with this spellbound, dopey expression on his face and this sparkly adoration in his eyes because Baz is gay as fuck and Simon has those shoulders, and he can see the moles and freckles like constellations on his back and neck and his collarbones and Baz might be too gay to survive his bronze-haired Adonis boyfriend in a fucking halter top. And sometimes it gets worse and the shirts have plunging necklines and Baz feels like he could spontaneously combust

And Penny makes fun of Baz’s hypnotic state and Simon is smug as hell but Baz doesn’t even care because Simon fucking Snow in pretty open back shirts and his muscular shoulders and the curve of his spine and Baz is too gay for this, help him
