my biggest pet peeve in the world is when landlubbers design cool fantasy pirate cabins but completely forget that they’re on a fucking boat. yeah here’s a loose shelf with 50 glass bottles of rum on the top shelf. no there isn’t any sort of guard on the edge. “yeah sorry cap’n we hit One Wave a little weird and every single glass item you own crashed into the ground at once”

One of my favorite things about the dead boy detectives fandom is that regardless of if you ship Crystal and Charles or Edwin and Charles the ship names are absolutely hilarious

Cryland & Payneland?? I mean, come on.

I think those say a lot about us as a fandom

While I was walking in the parade, I saw a man giving out free hugs. I pointed and said, "That's awesome!" "Do you want one?" I walked over, and he gave me the tightest hug I've ever had. As he hugged me, he said, "I'm so glad you're here, kiddo." Let me just say, it was incredibly hard not to cry when I walked away. Even as I type this, I'm crying. In a world filled with such hatred for transfolk right now, it meant the entire world to me to hear that.

To all my fellow LGBTQ+ who don't have a supportive parent or family, I want you to know that you are so, so very loved, even by strangers you've never met. Your life matters, and the world is a better place with you in it. I'm so, so proud of you for being who you are, for wearing your colors with pride, inside or out. You belong here, on this earth, and it's such a blessing that you are here. When you don't feel supported, know that somewhere, there is someone in the world who wishes to lift you up. Someone who would cheer you on. Someone who would give you a free hug. This pride month, remember how wonderful you are. How valid and lovely and special and important you are. You deserve to be here, you deserve to be proud, and most of all, you deserve to be happy. Happy pride month to us all. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Suddenly you’re in your 20s and you don’t feel like being 30 is being too old or too late to be accomplished as an adult. Suddenly, you realize it’s okay to feel older. There is a certain comfort in taking it slower and let a new generation dominate, just like yours did in your teens.

 You realize all the accomplished adults you met when you were younger had no idea what they were doing - and they still don’t have a clue. Suddenly, life makes no sense at all, and you’re not scared, because you know now that life isn’t supposed to be perfect.

It is chaotic, but most importantly, you are finding yourself amongst the chaos, and you are blooming into your true self, instead of becoming what was expected of you. You begin a new path, but you can’t see ahead. But you trust yourself to find you way in life, just like you are finding yourself.

 Take time to enjoy the process, and make sure to keep these memories: it will make you less cynical to younger generations when you are older. It will remind you how big life was in your 20s, all the things you discovered, including your own path.

 Let go of the regrets, and know you enjoyed your life as much as you could given the circumstances. Don’t grow bitter, life is too big to explore every corner of it, and even though you will try, you will never catch every glimpse of beauty life has. Find comfort on the beauty you were already able to find, remember to find it in yourself too, remember that part of life remains in secrecy. And letting go, little by little, of most of your regrets and worries about not truly enjoying your youth is how you can clear your head and find time to live life instead of over analyzing how you should do it.

 There is comfort in growing older, as you grow wiser, you learn to let go so you don’t become bitter. You find yourself and you can finally live with less regret. There is comfort in growing old, knowing life can be so beautiful, in all its mysteries. Let those mysteries carry your curiosity into the world, maybe you will find what you are looking for. Maybe you will find something even better and make the adventure a wonderful memory.

 You will find loss, sorrow, pain. But trust that you will find more about yourself and what you want and need in those moments. You will overcome them. All the pain will fade into the background as you outgrow it. You will realize that sometimes giving up isn’t the right option and you will know how strong you are, and how capable you are to solve your problems and move forward even when you see nothing in the distance, except for that light in the end of the tunnel. There is no glamour in leaving life behind at 27. And when you turn 28, your life and the world you live in will be so different, as long as you keep living in the present, eyes open, attentive ears, hands ready to grasp the beauty you search for, and keep alive the inner child that will be marveled at it.

 Yes, there is comfort in growing old. It’s chaotic. But, oh, it is worth it. Grab a blanket and come over, let’s get cozy, and look at dead stars shining above, as ourselves grow old.

Funny, my Chihuahua was just saying the same thing!

hey everybody my cat wants me to tell you all that she's starving and has never eaten before ever in her life, and despite this I'm refusing to feed her for no reason other than that I'm the worst meanest owner ever. plus I deserve to go to hell and also to jail. she wanted to make sure you're all aware who you're supporting this by following me.
