Do y’all think when Tim went batshit and killed all those people for Bertie the soldiers he gathered to help him noticed there was always one extra gunshot they would hear as they fought

I LOVE finding pictures of Nastya (the character NOT the person playing her) that I’ve never seen before because it’s like finding 20 bucks in a coat you haven’t worn in a while.

It’s just like “oh cool what’s th- HOLY SHIT NASTYA WITH HER VIOLIN?? HELL YEAH”

[alorekeeper]

“You’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you” and it’s Aurora slowly floating away from Nastya who just shoved her towards a fucking sun

[alorekeeper]

just so you know, you have some followers who enjoy/write fanfiction. not saying their urls rn bc i don’t wanna air out dirty laundry in public but if you want them so you can block and report, just say the word and i’ll dm you a list

[alorekeeper]

Can we find a sun god or diety from every timezone and make a map of them all?

[alorekeeper]

what the fuck

[alorekeeper]

Thinking about when I worked at a shitty restaurant + one night it was just me + 3 other women on closing shift, so some guy came in the back and waved a knife around, presumably for money but I’m not actually certain, bc he was met with the bartender holding a much bigger knife, a tiny teenager wielding a cast iron pan, an elderly woman holding up a crockpot of clearly boiling water, and me, turning on the meat slicer with eye contact for maximum effect. He left, but the moral of the story is not girl power or whatever, it’s just. Why the fuck would you threaten a room full of underpaid and sleep-deprived blue-collar workers surrounded by lethal weapons.

I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao

so i wore a pride flag pin to work the other day and the kids were all interested (obviously) (find me a classroom of preschoolers who are not obsessed with rainbows) (i'll wait) so they crowded around to see.

"aww!" they said, "it's a flag!!"

but the thing is: they're little. a lot of them don't really have a handle on all their mouth sounds yet.

such as, notably, that tricky tricky "L" sound.
