knight who is constantly searching for a good and noble king to serve but cannot fucking find one for the life of him so he has to become the good and noble king himself.

now my height's pretty average i think (5'3") but three of my friends i regularly hang out with all happen to be genuinely 6'5" and i'm so used to looking up at them to talk that their heights don't really register with me at all anymore until i see a photo of us beside each other and i get so mad at them for having the nerve to be so much taller than me. like where do they get off

A note, because not everyone knows this: if you're driving and another driver flashes their brights at you, this is a signal to be on alert and slow down. There may be debris in the road, a cop out of sight, or an animal crossing ahead of you. (Or, alternatively, your brights are on and they're getting blinded.) Whatever the reason, it's a signal that you need to focus and reduce speed. And possibly turn your own brights off.

This PSA has been brought to you by the four fawns and does that ran out in front of me at various points on my drive home.

Let's court death with mama!

I’m slowly beginning to accept the reality that 2007 was not last year but in fact almost four years ago

ive gotta mission for you. you're gonna watch a series with a primarily male cast.and you're going to find a woman character that nobody else gives a fuck about and you are going to be insane about her, okay? you're going to watch her collective 1 hour of screentime total and you're going to pretend she was the focus of every episode ever, okay? it's called respecting women. your mission starts now
