you’re 23 and you learn rosemary kennedy was lobotomized at 23 and you’re like my god she was barely an adult. then you’re 27 and you’re like holy hell amy winehouse was just starting her life. and then, presumably, you reach 36 and you’re like christ alive marilyn monroe was only 36. and so on and so forth

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

looking for opinions both from americans and non-americans: what would you consider to be the big 4 american cities in terms of like, vibes-based cultural impact?

sorry for the category 5 autism event about ff8 last night but I'm just preparing you for the category 10 event that's going to be me replaying that game in about a year or two

[stormsbourne]

Currently replaying one of the greatest games of all time

[stormsbourne]

absolutely nobody:

me, extremely high and holding a fresh bag of tortilla chips: have you ever thought about the way that laguna constantly lost the things he cared for most is because time slipped away from him and ultimecia literally states this theme in her final boss speech like some of the most classic ff villains do

man I really am in the depths of feelings about ff8 and more specifically squall leonhart these days. like. why. I am currently in ff1 on this play all ffs marathon and ff8 is miles upon miles away. but I can feel the preemptive impact of the meteor it's gonna be to replay it. that game defined an entire stage of my life and it has not escaped my notice that I look like squall if he was a soft butch lesbian instead of a vaguely goth boy. I met a lot of my current irl friends circle during a time when I was rping laguna loire on livejournal. (and for at least one of them, we rped in the same community!) I also think ff8 is not a game where I've approached it thinking super deeply about the themes it's trying to talk about before, but when I think about it now the themes are very stark. like ff7 I think it's a game that probably makes more sense once you aren't a teenager.

anyway it's going to really get to me. I can feel it

[stormsbourne]

the real origin of these feelings is that I've been playing a lot of the mtg ff set and I found a deck box that looks like the gunblade case in squall's room and I'm very excited about it. this is what has gotten me thinking Deep Feelings about ff8. insane

Google docs isn’t deleting your docs just because they have lewd text.

OP turned off reblogs of the post due to being debunked, but here’s a link of the reblog so you can still read stuff. Hate Google all you want but misinformation helps no one.

cmon stoned butch blues. please laugh 🩵💙

[stormsbourne]

if you showed me squall ff8 without me knowing him inside and out I would unequivocally assign him wolfsona but he is canon assigned lion. this makes some sense but it becomes funnier when you realize that his father is the doggest of all dog characters ever created.

Being anti-death penalty is literally the easiest stance ever. People just say "but should the state kill THIS type of person?" and you just say "no". Not killing people is so fucking easy actually

- P. Califia, "Public Sex"

That was 1986. In some ways it's gotten so much better. In all too many ways it still hits hard.

"Even those of us who are deviants or sex radicals or both can't seem to stop apologizing for the shabby forms our society often forces Eros to assume" is... whoof.

young queer people talk to queer people who are older than you so you don’t start making inane discourse about things that have been a non-issue since before you (or I, a whole adult) were born

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

I do think people kind of overblow "how normal people talk" sometimes because you'll just be talking to a random ass person and they'll throw out the most profound advice you've heard in your entire life, or a phrase that sounds like it's the theme of some great important book you've never read. and then two seconds later they'll throw out some of the worst bigotry you've ever heard. people contain multitudes
