they should invent a grief that doesn’t define you in new and strange ways for the rest of your life

"Why didn't they just communicate?? They're so stupid!" Have you considered that communicating with someone you love and value and don't want to hurt is scary and that vulnerability takes practice and that perfect characters with perfect words make the most boring stories of all

As a married person on the asexual/aroromantic spectrum, I deeply hate it when people “remind” me that “asexual people can be in sexual/romantic relationships.” I am very aware of this, I promise! But you can also let people not want romance to invade every aspect of life! Let me enjoy characters who do not desire sex or romantic love! Let me revel in the fact that some relationships are platonic!
It frustrates me more because I almost always see that phrase used as a way of erasing someone’s asexuality/aromanticism. Sure, we can be in sexual/romantic relationships, but it’s okay if we don’t want that. We’re not less than or lacking or broken or immature for valuing other types of relationships.

No matter how bad the state of the world, my stomach still growls. My laundry still piles up. My cat still brings me her toys and asks to play.
None of that feels important enough right now. None of it seems as real as the crumbling mortar of the country.
But even at the end of the world, there are chores to be done.
Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

My childhood playground tag was Wind Monster (yes, I grew up in a place with tornadoes). If the wind monster caught you, you had to go back to her lair unless/until you were rescued.
lately my kids have been playing Baby Knife, which consists of somebody acting as a baby with knife hands chasing people while going "baby knife baby knife" over and over. is this a thing or are they just insane

I love relationships like this. The other regular at your favorite coffee shop. The person who works in the same building, but for a different office who gets on the elevator at the same time as you. The people you know nothing about save that your schedules and geography align with some accidental regularity.
Apparently this local group of middle-aged drunks have decided we've passed by each other often enough that we are now aquaintances. I've seen them around often enough to recognise them on sight and I dress distinctly enough for them to recognise me too and go "AYO HEY IT'S THAT GUY WHAT'S UP" when walking past each other and don't even break stride to verify that I'm doing good and that they're doing good and we're both off our ways to opposite directions.
Sometimes I guess you've got to have people who have fuck-all to do with you save for walking the same roads and you tell them to have a nice day so they'll tell you to have one too.

One Day, but make it anime.
Nine-episode animated miniseries where each episode is framed as the obligatory beach episode from the middle of a different full season, and figuring out the arc of the show's notional nine seasons from context is left as an exercise for the viewer.

nostalgic for the high of posting angsty song lyrics with no context to my MySpace page
#when i was young#people wallowed publicly#now we just sob to sad songs at home with a bottle of wine

everyone should always be memorising poems. being able to recite a poem is a fun way to make everyone around you roll their eyes.
#a fun party trick#ignore the eyerolls and awkward chuckles#keep reciting the love song of j alfred prufrock until you have alienated everyone around you#it worked out fine for me

Are we sure that Section 31 wasn’t written by AI? Because it felt like they just threw a bunch of popular movies in a blender and poured the resulting sludge into a script. The genre was all over the place. The characters each had One Personality Trait. I’m not convinced that anyone steering the movie has ever seen Star Trek. The Vulcan alone was a crime against Trek fans.
