Can I just state how relieved I am that I didn't learn about Kabosu/doge passing on via a destiel meme but by memes of doge herself. 10/10 tumblr culture know your limits play within it

Death Note is so funny, actually, because the entire first half is just L going, “So, I think you’re a serial killer. It just seems likely.” And then Light goes, “Would you still say that if I did – THIS?” *performs a bunch of social cues that make himself seem trustworthy* And L, who is incredibly autistic and only has to interface with as much of this as he feels like analyzing manually, is like “…Are you done?” And Light’s like, “What? I mean, I guess.” And L goes, “Great. As I was saying –” Meanwhile everybody fucking else is in the background going, “NOW HANG ON, MAYBE WE SHOULD HEAR LIGHT OUT.”

The children are learning about the US Civil War. I can’t say it’s going well. (On the bright side, they’re very clear about slavery. We’re solid on that front. It’s the actual war we’re having trouble with.)

“Ms. T, why would his parents name him that?”

I frantically flip through the possible Civil War leaders they could be referencing. “… Well, you know how Stonewall got his nickname, and we’ve talked about Tecumseh, so there’s Sherman, and -”

“No, not them.” They roll their eyes at my ignorance, then pivot back to the point at hand. “That other guy. Useless.” As this describes a number of Civil War leaders, I blink uncomprehendingly at her. “You know, Ms. T, Useless. Useless Grant.”

“Um. … Well -”

Another child raises their hand. “Ms. T, I don’t understand number three.”

Number three is a question about the Battle of Bull Run, asking for explanations about a Confederate victory despite Union advantages. “What paragraph are you looking in?” I ask in a monotone, because I’ve been fielding this question all day.

The student points at the correct paragraph, even focuses in on the quote about Jackson holding off a Union advance. “It says Jackson and the men ‘screamed like furries,’ Ms. T, but why would that help?”

I cough. I cover my mouth with both hands. “That’s ‘furies,’ sweetie,” I inform them, still wheezing. “Like they’re insane with anger,” I elaborate, deciding to skip describing actual furies at this point in time. “Not … not like furries.”

So, here’s how the war is going, one week in: Useless Grant has been made general of the Union forces, but a bunch of furries are preventing him from gaining much ground.

wait hold on i just thought of something funny

what terminally online looks like will depend on your primary platform. twitter brain worms look very different from tiktok brain worms and tumblr brain worms are a whole other species

I'm fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.

For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.
