I want one of those scenes in a dude bro film where “tomboy” chick has to wear a dress to go undercover or whatever, but instead of the guys drooling as she walks down the stairs, they’re like “k. U need to stop. Go put the cargo pants back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that. Brutus, you go be the fake prostitute.”
me at 14: wow, protagonists in media my age! how relateable!
me at 28: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHILD SOLDIERS? WHERE ARE ALL THE ADULTS? WHO LET THIS HAPPEN AND WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING PROSECUTED BY LAW WITHIN THESE FICTIONAL UNIVERSES

why are non-millennials so personally offended by everything? like if i’m still wearing my jacket indoors, it’s because i’m cold, not because i disrespect your home/your classroom !! if somebody has got your order wrong, it’s because they’re very busy and simply made a mistake, not because they’re trying to jeopardise your meal !! if somebodies phone rings during a meeting/lecture, it’s because they accidentally forgot to put it on silent, not because they want to disrupt your speech !! just calm down, sharon, not everything is about you
It baffles and infuriates me that Hogwarts students don’t take Latin or Greek. Accio? Literally “I summon.” Lumos? Fucking “light.” Expelliarmus? Expel weapon!! Ooooh I wonder what Levicorpus does– you Dumb Ass Bastard. You ILLITERATE. It’s called Levicorpus, it lifts someone’s body, it LEVIES your goddamn CORPUS-
my dad just exploded into laughter out of nowhere and told me ‘imagine the lion king but with sea lions’
he has been chuckling about it for 5 straight minutes now
Yoongi wolf!AU, aka an excuse for me to write gratuitous smut
You were, what they called, a late bloomer. You didn’t get your period until you were nearly seventeen-years-old and when all of your classmates were talking about boys and smoking weed after school, you were playing neopets in the back of the classroom. You were always just a few years behind everyone else, but it was never a big deal. In fact, thank god you were spared the half a decade of cramps and soiled underwear that your friends suffered from. You wouldn’t mind if it took you another half decade to get your period, thank you very much.
You’re twenty-two now, a senior in college, and an adult by every sense of the word. You’re graduating in just a few short months, you’ve successfully passed all your classes, and you even have a job lined up for you. You’re a full-grown, mature, adult woman and you have every right to be proud of yourself…
By human standards, that is.
But the thing is… you aren’t exactly human, now are you? The fact that you transform into a wolf every month and run around in the woods naked, howling at the moon isn’t a very human characteristic. You were born and raised a wolf, and a wolf you’ll remain until your dying day…
And in the wolf community, you’re still technically a child who hasn’t hit puberty… Not that you’ll ever tell anybody.
“Why read the classics? A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.” These are a few recommendations, books everyone should read. Don’t let yourself be convinced they are good: read and decide for yourself!
