hey so anyone else just, feel thin. sort of stretched. like butter scraped over too much bread. like you need a holiday. a very long holiday. and you don't expect you shall return? or is that just me and bilbo baggins

one of my fave ofmd fandom things is how many posts there are (usually dated March 2022 but sometimes much later, even just a few days ago) that are just fanart of ed and stede with captions like "THOSE PIRATES SURE CAN GAY" bc even when people go in knowing it's 'the gay pirate show' it can still knock them ass over teakettle with how much they're rooting for those guys in the end. and part of that is because people assume tumblr as a whole over-exaggerated how gay it is (which tumblr often does) but another part of it is the thing season one does where you think it's all going to be subtext and you're like 'ah yeah ok I see why people went crazy about this one' and then the show whips off the workplace comedy mask and makes all the subtext text and barrels forward into romance territory. and that is still one of the most delightful things I've ever seen a show do, and it's really hard to explain how delightful it is until you SEE it. those pirates sure can gay indeed!!

they can't stop you from thinking about gay sex on company time

If there’s ever anything you want that isn’t on this list…youtube it. Everyone always comments on my handiness, but everything I know comes from an old guy and his iphone.

I love when people try to gotcha me on my stance that all sports should be gender integrated with "even American football???" because I can instantly come back with "oh lmao, no, I don't think ANYONE should play American football at all, it's way too dangerous" like nice try but I know no amount of testosterone is going to protect you from the profound, life ruining health issues caused by getting repeated severe concussions over the course of several years. No one should play this sport.

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

sometimes u headcanon a character as a sexuality but then also ship things that contradict that. sometimes you ship things you would NEVER EVER want in canon. this is because these things are fun and silly and not legally binding.

dear people with OCD: the next time you have spiraling & intrusive thoughts, what-ifs, or catastrophizing scenarios, I am sending a cardigan-wearing 46-year old NYU professor directly into your brain and he says "Aaaaand scene!!!" and he claps his hands slowly. and he says "Wow. Wow. Powerful stuff. Evocative imagery. A little bit post-modern, a little bit hysterical realism in the vein of Don Delilo but let's pause right here." and you will recognize your thoughts as a perplexing avant-garde film shown to an audience of 15 liberal arts students who are now trying to get a good grade and sleep with their professor.
