How to make a french representative react for sure : bring on the pain au chocolat/chocolatine discourse™.

Hello, it’s me, coming with another lame french joke. ‘Cause I can’t spend a damn week on tumglr without hearing about this discourse. (And it’s pretty sure still going on in Ow’s timeline.)

Where Mon combat (Tir Nam Beo) actually means let it go

Because my teacher is testing my sanity and I want to look if there’s a deeper meaning to this song. Feel free to see this as a joke or a serious analysis. (As serious as it can get of course, this reason number one why I am sad that we in Belgium don’t have the same text analysis’ courses as they have in France.)

My mum was using beautifying apps on pictures of me and sending them to me. This is what I had to overcome growing up - beauty is the only thing that matters to her. I’ll eat my stethoscope if any male medical students/doctors/academics have received this kind of talk from their parents and family.

My whole life I’ve been telling myself, ‘don’t be afraid’. And it is only now that I’m realizing how stupid that is. Don’t be afraid. Like saying, ‘don’t move out of the way when someone tries to punch you’ or ‘don’t flinch at the heat of fire’ or ‘don’t blink’. Don’t be human. I’m afraid and you’re afraid and we’re all always going to be afraid, because that’s the point. What I should be telling myself is 'be afraid, but do it anyway’. Live anyway.

HC: Gai has prosopagnosia!

In the manga it was a recurring comedic gag that Gai’s memory was so bad that he failed to recognize Kisame several times, but I ran with the idea and I wanna argue Gai actually has a neurological disorder called prosopagnosia, or face blindness.

People who have this disorder are unable to encode people’s faces, so they are unable to recognize even photographs of themselves. Its not that they can’t physically see them – if asked to describe the person they’re actively looking at, they can say “black eyes, white hair”, etc – but they are unable to recognize who it is because their brain is incapable of storing a cohesive, complete visual memory of the person’s face.

Folks who live with this condition often rely heavily on people’s voices or mannerisms or other similarly consistent identifying non-facial features to recognize them, but if any of these change – like, say, your partner dyes their hair, or if they catch a cold and their voice gets nasally – then the individual with prosopagnosia will fail to recognize them and probably freak out and act as if the person is a complete stranger.

(Imagine waking up next to a complete stranger!! You’d be like WTF GET OUT OF MY HOUSE but it turns out it’s your boyfriend of twenty years, he just has a particularly severe case of bedhead. God, how stressful!)

Gai having prosopagnosia would explain, at least to me, why he naturally gravitates towards Kakashi. In a sea of perpetually unfamiliar faces, Kakashi is extremely consistent – he ALWAYS wears a mask, for one, so if you see someone with a black facemask walking around, chances are it’s Kakashi. His silver hair is extremely distinctive, too, and he really doesn’t have a wide variety of outfits. It must be nice to know that everytime you yell RIVAL!! and flicker next to this black-masked, silver-haired fella you’ve got it right, ‘cause there’s no one else that looks like him in the whole wide world!

Good things that come from being on Tumblr for 5+ years:

By this point, you’ve either found a blog theme that you like or you’ve completely resigned yourselves to the default themes. Either way, you know longer care about your blog theme and that’s the way it should be.

You constantly gain a new appreciation for the, like, five followers that have followed you since the beginning.

You have a never-ending library of memes in your blog’s archives

If you ever need a pick-me-up, you can go back into the depths of your blog and find old content that you never thought you’d see again.

You probably never reblog unsourced/reposted art because you’ve been on Tumblr long enough to remember the original post in the first place.

A great appreciation for the updates that actually made the site work better (putting the reblog button at the bottom of the page, for instance)

A complete apathy to any sort of drama that this site devolves into.

You’ve probably discovered XKit by now and are grateful every day of your life.

You’ve seen and/or participated in some of the greatest events on this website, for better or worse (Mishapocalypse, the “reblog this if you’re in _______ fandom” posts, “What color is the sky?”, DashCon and the immediate fallout)

Bad things that come from being on Tumblr for 5+ years:

Different day, different discourse.

You’ve slowly watched people that you’ve followed for years go through eighty blog changes and that cool SuperWhoLock blog you once liked is now a belly-button fetish blog and you have to wonder where it all went wrong.

“Guys we literally settled this argument like two years ago why the fuck are we doing this all over again”

Living long enough to see people’s opinions on groups, events, and identities completely flip flop in the course of a couple of years.

Your block list is a mile long and full of porn blogs

Going from thinking that Tumblr was the best website ever to an old, jaded veteran who just wants to post memes is a very hardcore slide and it’s given me whiplash

Posts that you really used to like were deleted a long time ago back before deactivation was a thing.

Being 18+ years old on this site and knowing that the opinions of most of the users basically boil down to what minors think is social justice but really isn’t. Their hearts are in the right place…but… well, they’ve got a ways to go.

Out of the blue, someone will message you why you don’t post about certain shows anymore and you don’t have the heart to tell them that you haven’t tuned into that show in 4 years.

I hate this website let me drink and leave me be.

How to Recover from a Broken Heart

1) Remember that healing is a long slow process - Breaking up is painful and unleashes strong emotions, so be gentle with yourself, and allow yourself to grieve.

2) Accept some relationships are not meant to last – It’s a fact of life that we all want different things, and we’re not always suited to the person we are dating.

3) Reflect on what you learnt from the relationship – so you grow through your experience, and become more self-aware.

4) Rediscover who you are as a unique individual – We can sometimes lose ourselves when we’re part of a couple, so use the time to focus on yourself again.

5) Use this time to invest in your interests and passions - There’s so much more to life, than being with one person. So, use this time to do the things you really love to do.
