no telling you to kill yourself was in response to seeing your post on my dash with the urls of two people who were very very mean to me once attached. i was trying to contact the person who'd reblogged it, but the problem with the reply-to-reblogs feature is that the OP also sees it, and if the OP is a dumb fake edgy teen who pisses me off i can't resist making a comment. anyway i'm not going to contact you any more carry on with whatever dumb shit you were doing

just

fuck you? fuck you so much dude i literally haven't done jack shit to you and if you respond to people whose personalities you don't like by telling them to kill themselves that makes you i think a little more annoying than whatever is so fucking grating about me 

that was unnecessary and cruel going around treating people like that isn't okay

whatever, though, obviously you're not going to care! 

but like, shockingly, sometimes people are in bad fucking mental places when you say the mean things to them you are saying! and the things you are saying make them feel worse!

Too Soon?

Asked what he thought was the significance of the French Revolution, Chinese Premier Zhou En-lai is reported to have answered, "It's too soon to tell."

simonschama said: robespierre was smug and effemintae and also he was a tyrant that KILLED HALF THE PEOPLE IN FRANCE AND YOURE FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD FOR LIKING HIM

I

I never thought of it that way before

I see the heavens opening above me. The Abbe Proyart is descending on an ethereal cloud, hallowed by the glow of his own purity.

"You've done it," he whispers, taking me by the hand. "You've ended Robespierrism. Now, now peace will reign."

Good bye my friends. I am off to a better place.

simonschama replied to your post: simonschama replied to your post: im doing it...

WHEN I WAS LIKE EIGHT OR NINE I GOT IN TROUBLE FOR HISSING AT A LADY IN THE ICE CREAM STORE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS A VAMPIRE AND I DREW VAMPIRE BITES ON MYSELF IN MARKER

that's so cute omg

I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS A VAMPIRE I JUST REALLY WANTED TO BE ONE WHEN I GREW UP SOBS

[churchrat]

perhaps they're not your thing, but i posit that if you were to remove yourself from society the net result would be hilarious because from what i've seen you appear to be so profoundly unfunny you actually suck humor out of your surroundings

now why is this necessary

at all

as far as i know i've never done anything to you??? at all????

simonschama said: you know how the BBC documentary is set in a really really dark room. it’s basically that. we sit around and talk about how robespierre was the dictator of france and compare the terror to various genocides

...Right.

I'm going to stay here. I just hope Robespierre will take me back after I betrayed him but i gotta say, your argument of how "Robespierre killed like, half of the French people" was really enticing. It was hard not to combat such solid criticism so I salute you as an adversary.

my friend's little brother saw an ad for the film possession once and it said "based on a true story" in the beginning so he thought it was a documentary or something i guess and since then he has been so scared of "possession" like to get him out of the room my friend just says "hey noah you might want to leave we're going to be watching possession in here" and one time to scare him i burst out of the bathroom and said i saw fingers come up out of the back of my throat and he peed himself

i love you you’re so great omfg

that reminds me of how i thought paranormal activity was an actual documentary lIKE I THOUGHT IT HAD ACTUALLY HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL FOOTAGE AND THEN WHEN I FINISHED WATCHING THE MOVIE I SAW THE CREDITS AND REALIZED IT WAS ALL A LIE I’M STILL SO PISSED ABOUT THAT
