#and i just can't

[lastoneout]

Everyone always critiques country for all the songs being misogynistic and about trucks and beer but lemme fucking tell you, that's not nearly as prevalent as you would think. No the real plague in country music is songs about relationship trouble. And I don't mean "I hate my wife" stuff I mean a solid 50% of this genre, no matter the gender, sexuality, or race of the person writing/singing the songs, is about heartbreak or messy relationships or getting back together after shit's gone south and one night stands and yes also abusive relationships ending in fire and explosions and murder and like. Yes, this is good, I am a messy bitch who loves drama, but please can some of y'all write about literally anything else??

Like I keep finding artists I really like because they can sing super well and I like the general vibe of their music but then it turns out 99.9% of their entire discography is about their shitty exes and I'm just sdlkfjlkdsjf PLEASE sing about ANYTHING else ffs.

I still don't get why people think Azriel and Bryce would make sense cuz they don't. How would that work?

One of them would have to leave everything behind and I don't think Bryce nor Azriel would leave their homes just to be together. Neither of them would like to change and lern everything about the new world just to be with one person. Honestly, we'd need more books for that storyline.

I don't know Sjm, but this is something Sjm would most likely not do. It would be so weird to imagine Azriel doing tik tok dances and Bryce not being able to use toilet paper 😂😂😂😂

I was talking with the group chat about this the other day, and I am meh on Az and really dislike Bryce, so take this with a grain of salt, but they would be the WORST couple lmao

It's not even the logistics stuff you mentioned, but their personalities would clash so badly?? Bryce is a fun-loving, brash party girl and Az is intense, standoffish and serious. Bryce wouldn't have the patience for him and vice versa. I could see them hooking up and then being annoyed with one another the next morning and never calling each other. I just don't think they'd have the patience or fucks enough to even get to know each other. I just don't get it 💀

only liking tcoaal only for the dark themes and how it shows codependency and manipulation and not shipping the grave siblings is like walking into an emo club in old western attire.

Going to all Elias Bouchard's in characther AI and asking "are you secretly Jonah Magnus, it's for a school project?" is very funny specially because most times the AI also doesn't know about the whole Jonelias thing and will just say some dumb shit. But also because I now am imagining the archieves crew as a bunch of ten yo that just choose obscure historical figure Jonah Magnus as the theme of their history group project and acidentally got into an eldrish plot.

Last updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. Wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. Donating to international orgs is not ideal rn as aid is still being stopped at the border. Please focus on Palestinian-run initiatives on the ground in Gaza.

Remember, small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

I get it, I really do, but I feel like ppl w decision paralysis related to Gazans are also suffering from a kind of non-malignant egotism

"who do I decide to give it to? everyone needs help! I can't help them all!"

You're not the only person they're asking!!!!!

If you choose one person to help that day, a bunch of other ppl choose others

stopping to overthink your inflated importance as an individual versus one in many is what's giving you paralysis

the more you burden yourself as an incapable hero the less you all act as a group-- which is the exact answer you're looking for

fkn close your eyes, scroll on OOB and donate to whoever you click on first

you're not god, it's not your job to save everyone

JUST DO SOMETHING

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
