Obsidian Musings

One of my favorite tumblr experiences is when you see a post that isn’t that funny or cool but it has a ton of notes and you’re trying to figure out what you missed but eventually you give up and keep scrolling and THEN you realize that the first post was just the set up for a two-post joke and now you’ve been walloped by the punch line which hits extra hard because of all the time you spent staring at the first post and suddenly it all makes sense.

A shining example:

what's the point of initiating conversations with people when 99.9% of them turn out to be normies

I offered to come check on my friend's animals while she's away for the long weekend

Yes there are actually 202 of them, the company sent 2 extra in the package, and I will be numbering them on the bottom with sharpie marker 1-250. This will ensure even if she manages to find all 202, she will never truly stop feeling like there might be a tiny duck somewhere unknown in the house. Lurking. Waiting to appear at the strangest time.

like the thing is, i was watching tv in the early aughts, i am not unfamiliar with 'straight guys mistaken as gay by homophobes for the purposes of comedy or drama or both because HAHA they're so wrong, obviously these are Just Bros (sometimes literally, lol)'

coming back to this after watching it again and like - the thing is, eddie loses that confrontation in the diner. he doesn't keep his cool, he doesn't try to just walk away. he gets angry and emotionally involved and starts a confrontation. and he loses.
