#stoner steph thoughts

[mischiefbuckley]

why did buck say this in season 7 like insanity pure insanity

[r1ch1e-l1psh1tz]

As the days go on, I start to realize how bad my starkid/hatchetfield hyperfixation is getting.

I literally had a dream where I was in a Bury The Bully situation with some of my friends. I also had a dream about the apotheosis taking over my body, so that was nice I guess?

Anyways, HCS!!!!!

While Ruth and Richie were dead, they saw the summoning and went “…Dude, they’re actually super hot, what the fuck.” And for the rest of their ghost lives, would come up with fanfic ideas with the LIB in it

Grace would’ve loved Star Vs The Forces of Evil if her parents let her watch it (she saw the art style and fell in love)

Paul has a shit ton of cook books

Richie had thought about joining the smoke club (idk, he seems like a stoner, just like me fr)

Ruth’s room is either one of those aesthetically pleasing rooms with a bunch of playbills on her wall or with mushrooms/plants everywhere…or both

Charlotte really likes reading, she volunteers at the library to read to the children every week and they love her

Linda uses candy to bribe her children into doing stuff

Emma really likes turtles, so when she moved in with Paul, they got four turtles and named them Leo, Donnie, Mikey, and Raph

-did i forget to mention Paul and Emma like TMNT?

Steph sleeps with the TV on due to her small fear of the dark

That’s all!

[blankensnappeas]

Ok so i know theres an audience for tin can bros crossovers with Hatchetfield

so TELL ME someone sees the vision of Solve it Squad being Hatchetfield's version of Scooby Doo Pete, Steph, Richie and Ruth hate watching the "sequel/remake" Solve it Squad Returns- It basically becoming their universe's version of Velma (Another part of the trend of making kids shows "Adult and Edgy") Grace growing up thinking the show is about polyamorous stoners joining in on their lunch discussion of the new remake

The group is just confused like "Grace I thought you didn't care for Solve it Squad?" "I don't! I'm just glad you guys see it for the devil worshipping trash it is." "Grace thats not- no, no of course Grace, its just a show for devil worshippers, thats right."

ALICE WOODWARD’S RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PEOPLE BC BLORBO THOUGHTS:

The bar is on the floor, but her relationship with Bill is actually better than it is with her mum. Her mum pretty much ignores her most of the time and then does some grand gesture every six months or so so she can still be the “more responsible” parent, such as the Hamilton stunt after remembering that her daughter likes theater, right?

In some timelines, her and Ziggy are close, and while Bill doesn’t like that she’s friends with the town stoner, he prefers them to Deb. In other timelines, Alice is too insecure about Deb’s old crush to hang around with them.

Speaking of, Deb did not actually cheat on Alice, but Watcher World was preying on the idea that Alice was taught by her mum that the person who is cheated on is as much to blame as the person that cheated, and therefore knew that her girlfriend cheating on her would be soul shattering for her.

NOW THE ONE I’VE MADE A NAME FOR. Her and Ruth are also dating, and while Deb’s cool with it and likes Ruth, Ruth had a couple of months of extreme insecurity before she was okay with Deb.

Alice is close with Pete and Richie through the same means as Ruth (CCRP adults) and she misses them loads when she’s in Clivesdale. On top of this, her old friendship with Steph was rekindled when Lautski started dating.

Out of the CCRP adults, her favourite is obviously Paul, but she gets on really well with Charlotte. She thinks Emma is the coolest person in the world, but as a true Woodward, she despises Ted.

To sum up the CCRP adults, it’s Paul, Ted, Bill, Charlotte and Emma. Gary Goldstein - Ritchie’s dad - has met Alice bc his son loves her but he doesn’t show up to the hangouts, that’s Paul’s domain.

She doesn’t have any friends in Clivesdale, but the half-hearted lies she tells her mother placates her. Bill knows she’s not happy but he thinks can’t do anything about it.

On that note, she took a leaf out of Ruth’s book and didn’t join the school shows despite her love of theatre.

Hatchetfield Bee was one of her closest friends outside of the Nerdy Prudes and the only one outside of the Nerdy Prudes that didn’t abandon her after she moved away.

[batarangsoundsdumb]

guess fucking what? my inbox is so fucking full right now i'm unloading all of this shit in one post.

For the 11th gotham memes: gothamites react to bruce being jacked in a tiktok he made with kids, like super yoked, ripped as hell

fucking hilarious thanks. i think i did it in one meme post, but i genuinely don't remember which one

i dunno which of the batfam would do this but one time i was sleeping over at a friends house and ended up on the floor bc the bed was so very small and i just stayed there because the rug was soft

that's a drunk jason move i don't know what to tell you

tim and jason are "i listen to pop punk" solidarity. whenever jason highjacks the batmobile theyll go on long ass car rides blaring mcr and paramore and then never talk about it again

as they should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tim: no jason it's my turn using the aux cord i gotta put on my jams jason: don't you dare put on weird shit tim: don't worry, you're gonna love this *plays fearless (taylor's version)

hear me out hear me out, red hood stans 🤝 nightwing stans t h i g h s

holy shit yes.

SNL au: Bruce breaks character when pretending to superman and says something like "I'm not superman! You've seen his gps!! It's from 2001!!!" @sabeanybabe

superman flies past the snl building the next day just to say 'actually it's from 2005, i'm not a heathen'

does your back hurt from carrying the batfam fandom

it hurts more from the exotic rock collection i keep in my backpack, but thanks for the concern.

I love your posts by why would you always leave the best parts in the tags?

as a treat for the people that check the tags ;) (and also because i'm committed to the short post aesthetic)

somehow your playlist was everything i never knew i needed. i mean it. this is my new favorite playlist.

and don't you dare get a new favourite playlist!

babe ur stoner tim playlist is exactly too perfect, earth is literally blessed by ur existence

babe thanks so much! i love my stoner tim playlist because it's just my usual playlist but people think it's an artistic choice that i put taylor swift and britney spears in there, when it's just what i unironically like listening to

JANDKSKDK BILLY RAY CYRUS ON THE STONER TIM PLAYLIST I LOVE IT IT

again it's not even an ironic choice, i know every single word and i genuinely like the song

The last chapter of Fundamentals of Casework has me crying at work. Thanks I love it @dudelookitsalesbian

oh babe, i'm sorry, but also, not sorry i love chapter 4 so much it's my lovechild with the 'mental illness' tag

soooo....stumbled on your tumblr by some stroke of fate??? read your DC fanfic first. which is PHENOMENAL btw. then found all the batmemes; the funniest thing EVER bc everyone forgets about regular old gothamites. kept scrolling and your blog pops up as recommended. clicked on the ao3 for shits and giggles and waddaya know?!?!? it's YOU!!! you're LEGEND!!!! ever seen that meme? it's a video of a cat that got into a baseball field and the two announcers get really invested in his escape attempt and start giving a play by play of the cat instead of the game. memeable moment: "GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!"

i seriously think about this ask every single day and it's so fucking funny to me that i've never seen the meme you're referencing, but i still find myself going 'GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!' whenever i see something funny. but wow i'm glad you liked this steaming pile of garbage

Fav dc character overall? And fav batfamily character?

don't ask me to pick between the loves of my life, but i can tell you i've cried about every single batfamily member and also wally west (my beloved)

What's your opinion on fans having a problem with batfam being "too big"? And some even claim that batfam is just "Bruce Alfred Dick Damian" and the rest of them are just "friends and allies" (source: reddit) Personally, I like batfam because of this reason but idk

stupid. a family can never be too big. i'm not that big a fan of like huge batfam stuff with everybody from every single universe, because as much as it's funny for bruce to have like 30 kids, it just feels a little too OOC for me.

This is the best tag I've seen involving the batfam, thanks for thinking of it

This is canon now @nctxrejects

lmao yeah i think at that point alfred has had to sit through like at least a dozen coming out talks and just has a pride flag collection in the attic that he pulls out whenever a kid comes out

idk why batfam hits different as compared to any other superhero family

bc it's found family and usually the other superhero families are almost all genetically related in one way or another

I don't know if you watch the umbrella academy but I saw your last post about batcest and saw the similarities. But the thing is (although I think it's weird) in TUA, they addressed it by saying "they were raised as weapons, not siblings" or something along those lines, which is simply not the case with batfam.

yeah i watched tua but i also thought it was ridiculous and they still treated each other as siblings so i didn't like the luthor/allison thing, and am glad they stopped doing that shit bc it fucking sucked.

Hot take: Batcest shippers are the same people who believe adopted siblings are not actual siblings

smoking hot take: batcest shippers are the people who watch 'my sister got stuck in the washing machine' porn

Duke was adopted by Bruce?

not technically no, but do i, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb, look like i care?

True story but I had to change my freaking name because it used to be "Damien" and most people would go "OH LIKE DAMIAN WAYNE" like please I'm just tryna live

true story, but i don't actually think of damian when i hear the name damian, literally the first thing that pops up is damian darkh like bruh what?

apparently dc comics company supported comic stores by giving out new titles and stuff during the beginning of the pandemic to help them run and I just think that's wholesome

ah yeah that's so fucking cool, still don't like dc, the company, because this world is a capitalist hellhole and we're all owned by warner brothers or disney with no in between.

ayo looking at tumblr head canons and finding out bruce is actually a terrible father is a punch in the gut

lmao yes, in like 50% of comics bruce is a terrible father and it gives me whiplash

oooh I just saw the jason todd vs winter soldier post and the real question is: batman vs iron man

while iron man has like hundreds of cases of armor, batman could throw out an emp and have the guy dropping out of the sky in 2 seconds.

dickfast = fastdick = quickdick = quickie

magnum hot take

hey bata(?) just thought I'd let you know I have copied the obnoxious emoji and Billy Ray post for use on simping men going forth

thank you 😘🌷 (@spacebarsidecar)

why would you do that to your followers???? i get why i did it, but why would you???

what is scarecrow made the nightwing funko pop himself, like those diy-ers that paint over other ones

oh god no, horrible take, horrible take, that's a disgusting thought oh no

I see your HC that Bruce and Oliver fucked and raise you this: Dick and Roy ALSO fucked

yes they did and it was a horrible moment for jason to find out dick has fucked both of his best friends

"at this rate bruce adds like 1 child to his family every decade or so" Duke is introduced in 2013, Damian as Damian, not as an unnamed child, in 2006. And he is already 14 years old, Robins rarely remain Robins after 16 😬 It looks like a new Robin and Batkid will appear in a couple of years

i mean i can't wait? but somebody will probably die first tho, we're due for another major character death. my money's on either cass or duke this time.

BRO you're so right all of your Bruce's ex headcanons are amazing but they aren't ships, that's kinda wild. Like I don't want any peeks into how their relationship was I just want to see everyone make fun of them

lmao YES it's just i love bruce being a slut, like good for him.

I am in love with your posts your honour thank you

omg thanks are we like,, gonna kiss now?

The justice league needs to have a meeting to discuss how many of their members/partners have slept with bruce. Because through a combination of cannon & fannon (if DC wasn’t homophobic) we have AT LEAST: 1) clark 2) lois 3) oliver 4) dinah 5) john

Thats not counting villains or random civilians @dudelookitsalesbian

yes yes yes, they'll have a yearly meeting about how many of their collective exes could be out for revenge and batman's list just keeps getting longer.

tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.

and what about it?

when steph's fighting livewire and she zaps her with lighting and nothing happens and then they both just. stand there awkwardly for a second and talk. yeah i couldn't stop laughing at that batgirl steph is the BEST

oh yeah that was fucking hilarious and i think it would be so cool and sexy of dc to give steph a little comic series,,, as a treat

Hi I absolutely adore all of yours "Bruce and Oliver very badly pretending they didn't fuck each other" memes

lmao i do too

I need you to know that “Bruce Wayne had frosted tips” is one of my favorite Bruce takes of all time it’s so galaxy brained. you’re right and you should say it

he also painted his hair blonde once when he was travelling and in conclusion, this is why he's being blackmailed by the gotham gazette.

you know my thing about gordon being branded as the only good cop in gotham is its a load of shit like arguably he's a good person and not working to screw people over or anything but the fact that he also works w. batman makes him a shit cop. like yea batman is better than the mob but its still illegal its still an abuse of power he just not making bank

babe, all cops are bad cops. (but yeah youre absolutely right, working with vigilantes makes you a shit cop, but also working against vigilantes just makes you an asshole cop yanno?)

ruh roh i think i’m about to add “so not yeehaw” every time i don’t like something

that's a very good vocabulary upgrade

somehow i feel like steph already knew. like babs obviously knew but i feel like bruce got high/drunk in front of steph and started telling his boarding school stories and steph was just like “oh you fucked up i’m never gonna forget this”

steph and bruce have weird uncle/rebellious niece dynamic and they just hang out sometimes and bruce will be like 'i once broke my arm when i tripped over a hedge when i was drunk so oliver drove me to the hospital on an electric scooter' and steph will just have to sit there with that knowledge in her head.

Hello I just wanted to tell you you are So right in all your steph opinions bc she is, in fact amazing and I think that's very sexy of you. Ps. Your Bruce/Oliver fic is hilarious

babe, thank you so much and yes steph is amazing and i love her and she deserves the world and she's the best member of the batfam hands down. also thanks

In Supersons we see a couple of kids that are implied to be Damian and Jon's children and the boy has laser eyes and can fly, so I asume he's not adopted. The girl, who calls Bruce grandpa, can also fly, btw. So it's canon (probably by accident) that Jon can have kids and he must have married one of Bruce's kids. (I'm hoping for Damian, mostly because any other of his children would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay too old.) @artemisa97

lmao that was probably an accident seeing as jon is a 17 year old superhero in the year 3000 (by the jonas brothers)

You know, I'm a die hard fan of your memes, but I gotta say one thing: if Gothamites actually took gas mask everywhere with them, then the Scarecrow would just be a weird dude in a weird costume, and not a villain oh so scary. DC really should just takes notes from you.

bold of you to assume there's no gothamite anti-maskers

How does it feel being the funniest person on this app?

horrible, next question.

I can't listen to Green Day or Billy Joel without thinking of your post about how Bruce got arrested at a Billy Joel concert @nightwings-kid

yeah that's your mistake, i on the other hand can't enjoy billy joel without thinking about the glee rendition of 'uptown girl'

I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.

superman: so what do you do in your free time? batman, thinking about the superman fanfiction he's writing on the batcomputer: i have no free time

bruce and oliver be like boyfriends to co-workers 401k (do the justice leagues get 401ks??? not that bruce and ollie would need them, but-)

lmao yes just 400 thousand words of bruce realising 'oh dip oliver is such a fucking dumbass' (also i don't know what a 401 k is but i assume they don't?)

Gothamites would totally boo superman as he saves Gotham while batman is out. @meenje

he's like 'okay think about that next time you want to be saved from an alien octopus'

I just took long break from dc comics and I come back to see ric grayson ??

i think it's very cool and sexy of dc to see dick and just think 'you know what? let's just give him a traumatic brain injury' and then didn't develop his character in any real way

SPEAKING OF RIC GRAYSON, gothamites making confused memes out of ric grayson is much needed

'dick grayson is my taxi driver? can anyone explain what the fuck happened he looks like an italian plumber?'

i hate to say it but batfam are def "marvel characters" in that sense they are characters who are human but become superheroes unlike most dc characters who are gods trying to be human maybe this is why I like batfam

fair enough

[bandydear]

I've gotta know your thoughts on the fandom ask meme for Life is Strange True Colors only

Let's fuckin goooooooo

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Alex Chen, my beloved. I am making you hibiscus iced tea and a loaded sandwich.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Sorry to Vile Bisexual On Main, BUT, Ryan is So Shaped like a peggable man. Such a sweet and handsome boy with such a glaring character flaw. His father, Jed, also drove his JK Simmons face into my heart.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Gaaaaabe. I know so much of the story is about Him, but I still feel like he doesn't get enough love. He's such a dude, y'know? Like, he will lose his shit at shaped ice, and push rocks down hills and make you chug three monsters on your birthday.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

My best friend instinctively hated Riley and it cracked me up because I like her and wish she was spent more time with the main crew.

Charlotte too, I understand the plot meant not getting to hang out with her as much, but mad respect for a stoner artist queen.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Literally Problematic and Literally a Meow Meow, Valkyrie.

Also, Diane? I guess. IDK, I'd smash that evil capitalist.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Steph and Gabe. I'd play foosball wrong, play D&D wrong, and continually say, "Based? Based on what?" just to annoy them. I want to be their obnoxious third friend so bad.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Duckie. Fuck that old man.

Also, Steph's ex, Izzie. I just know that she's told people that Steph "gaslit" her because she planned a surprise party.

[catalinaflores]

cant stop thinking abt the timsteph progression from Young Naive Children to Jaded New Adults and how well it works with my forbidden robin rework... tim starting out as a “i thought we all swore to Never do drugs in that fifth grade assembly” kid and then definitely becoming a stoner. steph, sober, already not sure how to feel abt "new” tim on so many levels. the Tension the Stress the Healing required...

[codenamed-queenie]

Jesse McCartney has a professional musical career, Alyson Stoner and Mae Whitman (Steph) have shown off their singing chops on several occasions, and Cameron Bowen (Tim) did several musicals as a kid (Going by a video he posted on Twitter in 2017, he's more than capable of carrying a tune.). I kind of want a musical episode now, with Cass on drums.

A Batfamily Musical……is the kind of thing that I never really thought about but now that I HAVE…..I need in my life ASAP.

CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE?

I’m thinking something along the lines of Music Meister (remember him from that Batman the Brave and the Bold show?). The Team/League goes up against something and he’s there, and all of a sudden the Bats get hit with Meister’s powers and just start singing everything they say. 

And the other heroes just freak out because the Bats. The serious, no-nonsense-ever Bats. Are. Singing.

And they’re actually pretty dang good. 

Okay, anon. I agree wholeheartedly. We need this now, (and I totally 100% support Cassie on the drums). But can Bruce’s VA sing? I feel like that’s important to know. And don’t forget Jason! Josh Keaton, who voices him in YJ now, is actually not too shabby himself when it comes to vocals. (check him out on youtube!)

We need song suggestions, people! This has gotta happen!

[burning-honesty]

ok I’m actually sober it’s time to take the time to reflect like an adult not a headless chicken...

I knew between what my weekly prediction tarot spread said and mercury retrograde that I would be dealing with people from my past coming back into my life. That i should be careful of that.

I just didn’t think it would be both of them.

The night started off weird to begin with. I don’t go to house parties; I throw them. Let alone on a Sunday. Yet I did both things I don’t usually do. Went to a house party on a fucking sunday. I rolled up with my lil posse and brought the party. That was fun. That was fine.

Steph had texted me out of nowhere for the first time in two weeks since that conversation we had where I had opened up to her. That I had walked away from thinking wow, what a mess are we. How disinterested is she. But there she was, texting me some stupid meme after such a heavy silence. Asking me what I was up to. And like an impulsive little fool I invited her out completely expecting her to say no. Yet she agreed and I was to pick her up. Fucking weird, right? Especially after it all?

But right before I left my house guess who fucking calls me. Kelsea of all people. After how many weeks of us not talking? After me almost deleting her off my social media this week? After whatever shitshow happened between us?????

I had completely forgotten about the situation then boom there she was. Fucking finally opening up to me. Yet all I could really do was shrug, tell her that I didn’t really know what to say, and ask her why now of all times. She questioned who I was seeing for the third time at this point and shut down in response to my answer, saying nevermind about going to the party that she invited herself to.

When I picked up Steph, I was so glad to see her again. I wanted to tell her how happy I was, but I kept my mouth shut. Best not to complicate things, right? We got to the party and it was fine. I let her smoke my blunt. It was good. But then of course this fucking had to happen. Kelsea just walks up onto the porch and gets between us. Alex came out who is obviously so fucking oblivious to how gay I am, tried to get to know me through my friends. And there was Kelsea. Just talking about me as if we had this awesome history and she really knew me and like I wasn’t fucking standing there right in the middle of it with Steph just taking it all in.

I hated seeing the look on her face when she saw Kelsea. That’s the last position I ever wanted to put Steph in. I had to step away so I went talk to the stoner dude I forgot the name of just to get away from Kelsea. Then she leaves and blaze comments that she left when she realized I was ignoring her and keep in mind she definitely did NOT go talk to gio as she said her intentions were in even going to the party.

So what am I to take away? She showed up to talk to me and I acted like a fucking ass and now I feel responsible for hurting her feelings but honestly what the FUCK? Then Steph ignores me the entire night so I hang with the boys and sang and played guitar for everyone. Which I suppose is what finally caught her interest again.

I don’t know. I was lord only knows how many shots in then next thing I know she’s silent and apparently I told her I’d fuck her then suddenly she’s pinning me down, kissing me despite literally not talking to me the entire fucking night. For not talking to me at all in so long, period. Then she tells me “let’s take a walk” where I then am subjected to some unwanted psychoanalysis over a blunt before she walks us back to my car and again pins me down to kiss me. Fucking pulling my hair again???? And I take her home and the only thing I have from it is a text from her saying “:-)” timed right around when I got home.

She seemed interested when I admitted “my problem is that I like to have a plan in my mind for everything.” She stood right in front of my face, just centimeters away. I thought she was going to kiss me. But instead she asked me what I was going to do about it. And I told her, “well, I have to stop making plans I suppose” to which she abruptly walked away from me in response. What am I to think?

She says she’s an open person. That all I need to do is ask, yet she tells me I’m just overthinking whenever I do ask anything at all. Its mind boggling and quite frankly, I don’t know how many times during that moment with her that I consciously thought to myself “this doesn’t feel good. At all.” I kept catching myself thinking of kim. And I hated that. I hated that so much I can’t even express the frustration I feel within myself and that’s exactly why I told her that I didn’t want to be anything but friends. But there she was, sober acting on my drunk ass comment on “I would probably fuck you.”

Mind boggling. Truly.

I really just shouldn’t text either of them if it’s giving me such a headache, should I?

God she makes me so nervous. I’ve never been so nervous around a woman like that in my life. I’m afraid of the things I know I could feel for her if given the chance.

I’m just not fucking ready for that, man.

[mischiefbuckley]

if there’s one thing I want buck to do in season 8 is start listing random facts again I need to see his joy as he starts rambling on about bees and to see eddie looking at him in awe that yes this is the dorky tall handsome blue eyed cutie he’s so in love with

[ymiruv]

Steph checks out the latest from #MegalithLevitation “I can't say I was familiar with these guys at all so I looked them up. I read a description that had their genre described as "stoner/doom metal" and I instantly thought what on earth have I gotten myself into here..?” https://www.facebook.com/664946577254771/posts/823072254775535?sfns=mo #noisepollutionaustralia #music #metal #rock #heavymetal #musicreview #moviereview https://www.instagram.com/p/B4J9TycA7Fc/?igshid=8yrxaxwsj1x0

You Aren’t Being ‘Shamed’ Just Because We Expect You to Be a Civilized Adult

By some stroke of misfortune I happened across this headline from People Magazine: “Yoga Instructor Practices in White Pants While Free-Bleeding to Make a Point About Period Shame.”

I only hope aliens from an advanced civilization aren’t able to access our Internet. Surely, if they saw this, or pretty much anything else that gets posted to the internet on a daily basis, they’d correctly surmise that we are a race of dangerous lunatics. Their only recourse at that point would be to incinerate us with their alien Death Ray.

On second thought, maybe I do hope they can access our internet.

The article tells us about a woman named Steph Gongora who takes inspiring Instagram videos of herself bleeding into her pants while she does yoga poses. Her latest video has this caption:

“I am a woman, therefore, I bleed. It’s messy, it’s painful, it’s terrible and it’s beautiful. And yet, you wouldn’t know. Because I hide it. I bury things at the bottom of the trash. I breathe, ragged and awkward through the cramps, all the while holding onto this tight-lipped, painted-on smile… Hundreds of years of culture have made us embarrassed to bleed, have left us feeling dirty and ashamed…”

I haven’t investigated the rest of Steph’s work, so I’m not sure how far she takes this philosophy. One wonders if she’s launched similar campaigns to fight back against society’s merciless shaming of other bodily functions. Just imagine the possibilities:

“I ate Taco Bell, therefore, I have diarrhea. It’s messy, it’s painful, it’s terrible and it’s beautiful. And yet, you wouldn’t know. Because I hide it. I flush things down the toilet. Hundreds of years of culture have made us embarrassed to defecate in our pants, have left us feeling dirty and ashamed…”

A Shaming For Everyone

You think I’m joking, but “poop shaming” is actually a thing. There’s a shaming for everything these days. Every week there’s some new group of drama queens whining that they’re being “shamed” for this or that.

As we know, the two most common anti-shaming efforts involve overweight people gallivanting around in various states of undress in order to fight “body shaming” (there are 12 types of body shaming, by the way), and promiscuous women also gallivanting around in various states of undress in order to fight “slut shaming” (after a while you begin to suspect that anti-shame warriors are just looking for an excuse to get naked). But that’s just the tip of the iceberg of shame. Shaming comes in all shapes and forms and styles and flavors. There’s skinny jean shaming, single shaming, formula shaming, house shaming, divorce shaming, tattoo shaming, selfie shaming, reader shaming, salad shaming, snack shaming, hook up shaming, millennial shaming, sweat shaming, sleep shaming, food stamp shaming, Instagram filter shaming, Pokemon shaming, pajama shaming, phone shaming, riot shaming, leisure time shaming, baby shaming, vacation shaming, stoner shaming, body modification shaming, and music shaming. Specifically for women, along with period shaming, there’s also abortion shaming, pole dance shaming, sorority shaming, shirtless shaming, armpit hair shaming, and alcohol shaming.

And for those who shame all of this shaming there’s shame shaming, which often leads to shame shaming shaming and even shame shaming shaming shaming, which gives rise to the shaming of shame shamers who shame those who shame shamers for shame shaming shaming. We’re all just ashamed all the time, it seems, but not so ashamed that we won’t post heroic pictures of ourselves doing whatever it is we claim we’re persecuted for doing. And, although society supposedly “shames” this activity, we’re sure to get 100 thousand likes and 50 thousand shares and 10 thousand laudatory comments.

It’s Called A “Different Opinion”

Here’s a good rule of thumb: If you are roundly congratulated for doing something, society is not shaming you. Often, when we complain of being “shamed,” we really mean that a few random people have expressed mild disapproval or disagreement with some trivial, unimportant habit or preference of ours. Yeah, some people don’t like your pants or your tattoos; some people think you read silly books and play dumb games; some people find your taste in music and fashion horrid, and guess what? They’re allowed to have those opinions. They’re probably right, anyway, but that’s beside the point. The point is that you haven’t been victimized or injured because someone differed with you.

You haven’t been “shamed” just because your tastes aren’t shared by every single person you meet. You’ve simply discovered the reality that other people are other people. They may have preferences that differ from your own. They may, God forbid, verbalize those preferences, even going so far as to offer some critique of yours.

the fact that Bobby pulled Eddie to drive the ambulance to take Buck to the hospital after he was struck by lightning like big brain move on Bobby to do that cause obviously Eddie ain’t giving a fuck about anything and will do anything to get Buck aka the love of his life to the hospital as soon as possible but lmao no fr like Bobby also knowing how each of them react when one of them gets injured on the job and that Buck getting struck by lightning hurt Eddie like the same way he saw how Buck felt and reacted when Eddie was stuck after the well collapsed like in that moment the only thing that would distract Eddie and help with his feelings at the moment without losing it is driving the ambulance and having some control over the unpredictable situation going on with Buck

was it casual when you had buck perfecting a lasagna recipe and testing it out three different times before getting it right for his best friend and his son as they are visiting buck during the week at his apartment and it’s all very domestic and familiar as buck is the one cooking for them as eddie is sipping on his beer while helping christopher with his homework at the kitchen table and the funny kicker also is how this is a lasagna recipe from the father figure in his life who has always been there for him since the beginning of his firefighting career and when buck would sleep with anyone and even got fired for being so reckless on the job and this now is buck grown up and cooking a family recipe for his very own family now during the week on an evening where they are all together as a family and they are joking and having a good time together
