Cozy Glow is such an interesting litmus test for die-hard bronies. I was checking r/mlp to prep a post and there’s a discussion post about how she deserved what she got and. How do I tell bronies that children should not be tried as adults. How do I tell bronies that psychopaths and sociopaths deserve human rights and treatment and support. How do I tell bronies that cruel and unusual punishments are bad. How do I tell bronies that the death penalty is wrong. How do I tell bronies that a ruling body should not have absolute say over putting someone to death, least of all a 6-year-old child.

These are all my recent google searches.

If I see a single person turn Edwin into a "submissive owo twink" I might- spoon my eyes out and never touch the internet again.

STOP bragging about how much you're overworking yourself. STOP making it a competition how little sleep you get each night. STOP trying to be worse off than anyone else in the room when it comes to health, work, relationships, school, or anything like that. you're not helping yourself, you're not helping anyone.

Shoujo romance is wayyyyy better than Shonen romance. I'm sorry if you had to find out this way if you didn't already know this proven fact.

(yes I know there are exceptions. like Romantic Killer)

while I’m empathetic to the struggles of families who rely on dual income. It’s only my second day in the school system as a fieldwork student and I’m vowing to commit to the strain of a single income if it means any children of mine wouldn’t be in the public school system.

People on Twitter won’t stop talking about how disliking kipperlilly copperkettle makes you a misogynist cus d20 fans have a problem with it and like… sure but also she’s literally written to be racist so idk sorry I don’t like the middle class white girl who thinks affirmative action is going to keep her from getting into college. Everyone keeps saying “you’re not special for hating her” okay but when I say people are obsessed with calling her innocent and she’s actively racist it makes me the bad guy

Like sorry the bad kids didn’t revive her cus she was kinda bad and that makes them evil??? But keep talking about how anyone who dislikes her is also evil and she can’t possibly have any faults bc she was groomed and didn’t have any real negative qualities

All the 104th Scouts doing one of those 'who can fake-moan the loudest' competitions that starts off shy and quiet until its just loud, unabashed, and they're openly trying to one up each other. Not everyone participates, but everyone is laughing so hard that they can't breathe as Connie yell-moans the LOUDEST most exaggerated uuuhhhaa in a high and feminine tone.

And then Levi sticks his head in the room with the most horrified look on his face: "What the fuck is going on in here?"

the alliance........ from left to right: baseball, suitcase, nickel, and balloon!

(i was trying to find a way to represent balloon's name and i came upon a lucky medium: given how he was a jerk in ii1 and nickel continued to see him as such, i imagine he'd just call him "bully" from then on, even after they became friends -- and it sounds like the word "balloon", no?)

I wish my teachers/fellow students could see I'm a bison/gnoll/Ben10, cause the idea of any of those driving a tractor is objectively hilarious

The reason graham messes with cathal

In a turn of events surprising exactly no one among the group, it's Dustin's who starts the whole thing. He calls a formal party meeting, and an hour after the message goes out over the walkie Steve has a living room full of anxious freshman and Eddie Munson -- and him and Robin who are mostly there because the meeting had to be held at Steve's house for some reason.

Dustin's sense of dramatics have come to rival Eddie's, and he waits until they're all seated before he even bothers coming out from where he hid himself with a manilla folder under one arm and the only white sheet in Steve's house, that had definitely come from off of his parent's bed, under the other. He doesn't say a word as he throws the sheet over the entertainment center and comes back again wheeling in an overhead projector. Steve can still faintly make out O'Donnell written on the side. "I'm sure you're wondering why I've gathered you all here today," Dustin punctuated his sentence with the heavy click of the projector being switched on.

The fan doesn't drown out the screaming from the crowd.

"You made it sound like an emergency."

"How did you get that here?"

"How did you get it at all?"

"Please," Dustin interrupts, "save all questions for the end." From his manilla folder he slaps a pre-written laminate down on the light table. Projecting, enlarged for everyone to see, 'Why Lucien is secretly the big bad of the whole campaign: a presentation by Dustin Henderson."

"This is the lamest reason for petty theft ever." Eddie gripes. Clearly more upset than Henderson had actually figured the plot twist out, Steve remembers how proud of himself he'd been when he talked himself through it weeks ago.

"Did you help him do this?" Steve asks, afraid of the answer. 

"Obviously not, why would I spoil my own-"

"The projector, Eddie."

"I mean barely, I was more of a getaway driver. Really, if she wanted to keep her projector she shouldn't have moved it out into the hallway so they could wax the floors. I didn't know he was going to use it for evil."

Henderson clears his throat, a disgusting phlegmy hem-hem, "If you're going to talk through the presentation, you'll be asked to leave."

The attitude on the kid, really.

It becomes a thing after that. Steve already has the projector, it's not like he can bring it back to the highschool. What would he even say, 'Sorry about the confusion, my overhead projector looks just like this one.' When there's nothing good at Family Video to rent or it's raining too hard to use the pool, they'll all go to different corners of the house with a stack of ten laminate sheets, a wet erase marker, and a vague theme. Then they come back and share what they've come up with.

The group is incapable of not instigating some kind of competition, at the end of the night they'd fight and argue over whose presentation was best. Steve participated half the time, but more often than not let himself be talked into playing referee to make sure no one's feelings got too hurt. On those nights he'd add onto Robin's. His favorite: why star trek is better than star wars (with footnotes from Steve)

It's at least twice as gay, kirk and spock are basically alien married and uhura definitely had a thing for spock's wife. All star wars has is the robots and they're barely main characters.

Steve note: Spock's half-vulcan status can be looked at the same as being bi or genderqueer, not feeling like you belong right in either half of your identity cause you aren't enough of one or the other -- Luke is just a twink with a nice wardrobe.

The Party could argue about anything, but Steve wasn't exactly surprised when the young adults got in on the fun too. The projector didn't usually come out until they were all drunk or stoned enough to admit that they had been waiting all night to make their presentations. Unlike the kids who mostly treat the games like debate team: who's the most powerful fictional character, what's the best PC class, what character from star wars would survive the Upside Down (he thought Erica's presentation: why the my little ponies could take down tiamat but wouldn't because they're too civilized, was especially inspired). The older teens treated it more like an amped up game of truth or dare, making up things that someone else in the group should have to do and encouraging the rest of the group to join in too.

They started the night off with Argyle's "Why Steve should give me his secret brownie recipe" which turned out to be mostly about how good they would taste as weed brownies and Eddie and Jon were quick to join his side.

They go around like that advocating for bad decisions like consequences don't exist, like they could be kids again. Robin thinks they should get tattoos, Steve is easily swayed. Jon proposes a road trip back to California. Nancy says they should all move to Boston with her. Eddie thinks the core four should start a band. Steve waits for his turn.

Steve has had his pages written and waiting for days. He knows exactly how long it takes his friends every time they meet to get wasted enough to give in to the temptation to wheel out his contraband projector. Once Robin is finished shouting at Eddie about how they're the only ones with any musical gifts he takes his turn.

"Why Eddie Munson should go out with me: a presentation by Steve Harrington."

Can we just accept that a wide range of things make people susceptible to conspiracy theories and that people of all backgrounds can fall into them based on a million other things. this easily goes both ways you guys are always on about how you learnt critical thinking in english class and yet still reblog random studies from predatory journals (vanity press for research) and apply research to things the studies themselves explicitly state they do not prove and can’t even be bothered to look for a limitations section before taking smth as gospel. Also u genuinely are taught about logical fallacies in a lot of STEM degrees u realise that applies to research interpretation and theory application 😭 take that chip off ur shoulder

[shoechoe]

this may be mean but i can't help but feel like putting stuff like "former gifted kid" in your bio when you're in your 20s is a little... i don't have the word for it but really no one cares about that stuff when you get out of school

i feel the same way about people who look down on other people who have poor grammar like man that's really something you should grow out of after you're 9 years old and get complimented in class for having a big vocabulary

sometimes a first date is you, the guy you're technically only in a situationship with, one of your band members, the girl that your band member lowkey catfished with pictures of your situationship guy, and the catfished girl's best friend and that's okay
