if you’re on tumblr and over the age of 24 it means the mental illness won
can't believe that pompeii by bastille is over ten years old now. but I guess if you close your eyes it does almost feel like nothing changed at all
some of you are miserable because you’re mean. like you’re just mean to people and things
“why don’t i have any friends” because you are mean
this can be fixed at least in part very easily though! just stop being mean. i believe in all of you 👍
‘but i’m not mean’ ok, cool! do you:
point out people’s mistakes and failures to them? in front of others?
belittle their accomplishments and successes? in front of others?
make fun of people and laugh at them? in front of others?
do all this secretly to your ‘friends’ because friendship means being able to ‘joke around with’ each other, or ‘be brutally honest’ with each other?
bring up past grievances with people over and over until they’ve apologized ‘enough’, or just to shut down arguments with them, or get out of conversations you don’t want to have?
refuse to do favors for people? like when you feel they haven’t ‘earned’ your time or effort? or at all because you don’t want to be ‘taken advantage’ of?
try to get out of paying your share of bills, doing your share of chores? spend time figuring out exactly how little you can contribute to groups in terms of time, effort, and money, without anyone noticing or getting too mad at you?
get angry and jealous when people are happy about things that don’t concern you? get angry and jealous when people pay attention to each other and not you?
spend any amount of time ‘getting even’ with people?
THIS BEHAVIOR IS MEAN.
you might feel like you’re a perfectly nice person who cares a lot about people but also speak your mind and take no shit! but if you do any of this stuff, people won’t like you anymore, because it fucking sucks to be around you. you suck to interact with. no one fucking likes being mocked, criticized, picked on, upstaged, pushed around, mooched off, or revenged upon. they will, if they have any self-respect at all, avoid you.
the worst case scenario actually isn’t that you end up alone. it’s that you end up with other people who are just as mean as you are, and you all mutually tear each other to pieces on your way to drug addictions, losing all your money and property and kids, and jail time. this happens a lot, i have seen it go down, and it’s not fun even for bystanders. please consider putting the time and effort in to be nice, instead.
A lot of people need to hear this.
My 3 rules for life are:
Find something to like about everybody
I know, this sounds sappy and ridiculous. But I’m serious. Yes, even the guy hogs your parking space. Yes, even the bitch at the library. I’m not saying you have to like everyone; I’m saying you should like at least one thing about everyone. (Maybe that guy wears great looking ties. Maybe Library Bitch is also super funny. Whatever it is.) This will make your life much, much easier; you’ll find that people you don’t like are a bit more tolerable, and people you’re neutral towards are a bit pleasant to be around. It’ll also make you less mean! People can often tell when you don’t like them, whether you think your dislike is justified or not, and if you can find at least one think to like about them then you’ll find that you interactions with them are more pleasant for both of you! It also makes it easier not to be mean to people behind their backs; you can talk about that dude’s cool ties instead of expressing your frustration by finding something mean to say! If you feel the need to compliment them, you have a ready, completely sincere compliment topic! And, most importantly, it develops critically important mental habits on not being mean. If you get into the habit of finding something to like about every new person you meet, you’ll develop a nicer and more appreciative outlook. You’ll start new relationships off on the right foot and get better at seeing the good in people generally! These mental habits are a great shield against falling into the opposite habit, of amusing yourself by finding things to look down on or talking behind people’s backs about negative things. (Obviously, you should also find something you like about all of your friends.)
Obey the Campground Rule in all things
The Campground Rule is the rule of courtesy when camping on public land: leave your campsite better than you found it. You’re a guest on the land, so be courteous. Don’t leave rubbish, and if you find other people’s rubbish, pick it up; make it so that you being there improved the campsite.
Leave it better than you found it.
I found that my life improved dramatically when I made it a rule to employ the campground rule in all things. Staying at a friend’s place? Leave it cleaner than when you arrived. Hanging out with some people? Leave them happier than when you arrived. Wasting an afternoon on Tumblr dot com? Write or reblog something funny, be friendly to other people; improve other peoples’ experiences.
You don’t have to do fix everything. You’re not a superhero and you’re not expected to be. But if you get into the habit of improving everything just a little bit, this will make your life better in a variety of ways. Like the first rule, this has some immediate benefits in that it makes you more pleasant to be around and other people will want to be around you/help you more, but the real benefit is in forming mental habits; if you focus more on the challenge of ‘how can I improve this a little bit?’ then you’re not focusing on unhelpful shit like ‘am I coming out of this ‘on top’ by getting away with not paying/doing my share?’ or ‘how can I get the most out of this for me, personally?’ or ‘oh, did that guy put in less work than me? I think he did! I’m gonna investigate that so I can complain about it if I’m right!’ Unless you’re being regularly taken advantage of (in which case this isn’t the advice you need), these thought patterns are unhelpful. Focusing on the Campground Rule is better for your mental health and your personality.
Before engaging, ask: ‘Do I want to escalate this’?
Do you really want to bring up some random shit your friend did a year ago that nobody can do anything about now? Why? Just to make them feel bad? Is that going to accomplish anything?
Do you really want to anonymously message that dude who said something that pissed you off on the internet? Why? Is pissing him off too going to help anything?
Do you really want to respond to that inflammatory post and get into a six hour pointless argument? Do you really want to turn to your friend and make fun of that woman who just walked past, starting an incredibly witty Diss Conversation that’s just you and your friend being mean for four hours? Do you want to post that angry screed online? Do you want to criticise your cousin’s pronunciation of ‘lieutenant’ at the dinner table?
Maybe you do in the moment, but what you say has consequences. Do you really want to escalate this, rather than just letting it go?
Tumblr can add a shop tab no one wanted but they can’t make a block and report or not put “follow” beside peoples names on posts

Well met, traveller! Tell me, what is it that you need most?
A little change of scenery.
A glimpse into the future.
Knowledge from the universe.
Inner peace. Possibly a nap.
A home-cooked meal.
Something to pass the time.
A grand adventure to a far-off place.
Ah, I see. Thank you for your honesty. Please, take as much as you need. There will be enough for everyone.
A change of scenery. Simple, but marvelous.
A glimpse into your future, for you brave souls! (Divination is tricky business, tread carefully my dear!)
Knowledge from the universe, eh? Perhaps this will be of interest to you.
Rest for the weary, right this way. It's a personal favourite of mine.
A home-cooked meal you say? I like how you think! A labour of love worth savoring (and sharing with friends!)
For something to pass the time, try looking here, or if that doesn't hit the spot, here.
Seeking adventure to a far-off place? I know a way to get you there.
✨
I hope you found what you were looking for!
Okay, not to be overdramatic but this is one of those things that makes me feel so in awe and in love with people. OP spent their time making this?? And it's delightful?? And full of compassion and curiosity about strangers on a hellsite. Take what you need, take a breath, enjoy this shared moment of human experience. I did. 💜
reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a fucking break
Good Bones
by Maggie Smith
Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.
Me: hm I wonder why certain types of endings in stories will absolutely break me like nothing else will to the extent I wouldn’t ever even entertain the idea of including them in my own writing
Me: *watches the end of his dark materials; remembers my mom first reading the books to me when I was six*
Me: oh. Yeah okay that would do it
Lucky 7 cow reblog for good luck
reblogging because I love her 🥺

the lee scorseby “you love her but thats not enough is it” line is also like at the very heart of the story. the fact that mrs coulter loves lyra doesnt stop her from treating her cruelly and it doesn’t stop lyra from rejecting her. the fact that lee loves lyra doesn’t stop him from dying and leaving her. the fact that lyra loves pan doesnt stop their separation. the fact that john parry loves his wife and his son doesnt stop him from leaving them and it doesn’t bring him back. the fact that will and lyra love one another doesnt stop them from being torn apart. love never conquers loss in hdm the way it usually does especially in kids media and thats what makes the ending so jolting and devastating because you keep believing until the last second before will closes the window that there's going to be a happy ending, because how could there not be, they're in love…. but then they lose each other anyway
this but also
lyra and will's love being enough to bring dust back into the worlds. mrs coulter's love for lyra and her and asriel's devotion to each other being a catalyst enough for them to make the ultimate sacrifice. mary's truthful story of experiencing love guiding lyra and will to discover their own feelings, enough for them to find the rest of their story together. balthamos and baruch dying apart as an act of selflessness that was enough to protect two children. familial love, romantic love. self love. platonic love. whilst love wasn't enough to conquer the loss, the story also gives us hope in that loving one another is something to live for even if it ends in heartbreak. the love didn't save everyone but it still matters that it was there.....
no more of the agonies. have you seen the wonders
psa this post is about mundane wonders!!!!! the everyday!!!!!!!!!!!! your favorite color a soft jacket sunshine rain the taste of your favorite food talking to a friend!!!!!!!!!!!!! you dont have to just wish for them you too can see the wonders if you learn to look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After reading The Amber Spyglass a simple bench makes me cry

Crying way before Coulter and Asriel even do the thing cause I know it’s coming
And then crying again way before Lyra and Will do the thing cause I know it’s coming
So I see everyone is going through the five stages of grief over the His Dark Materials fandom
