Teleport all day--driving in traffic makes me anxious

THAT'S IT I am quitting tumblr FOREVER. see you all tomorrow

Good night OP. Good work, sleep well, I’ll most likely block you in the morning.

I can, and arguably I must.

I always think that sport events, especially international ones, are primarily about fun and cultural exchange and hanging out together; it gets lost sometimes when people pay too much attention to keeping scores, but joy and building bridges should be more important. So glad this seems to be happening right now!

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

Reblogging to agree and say that what was happening to me was (and to an extent still is) severe and was the result of manifold health problems and has taken the better part of a year to effectively treat. I did not expect medication to be this effective. But it is. So if you think that you are untreatable, get a second opinion.

Kill the idea that suffering is somehow authentic and worthy, and take the fucking drugs. I lost years of my life to this kind of thinking and I have nothing to show for it other than a handful of embarrassing memories and a house full of clutter I don’t want or need. There’s at least five regularly used different classes of antidepressants! And about four more specifically for anxiety! They’re all acting on your brain in different ways and you will have different reactions to each of them! Don’t give up and accept misery because you’ve mistakenly believed the misery is your real personality!

I'm sorry for your loss, man. I don't really have any words of wisdom, but I'm glad things are getting a little better and I'm glad your dog and you are there for each other. You'll be in my prayers.

Those evil free speech advocates did say something about the nature of the face-eating leopards at the time. Once you start begging for censorship, don't expect them to stop at only banning the things you don't like.

It actually kinda pisses me off that every time there’s an adaptation of some classic work coming out, there are takes like “maybe we should not judge the adaptation compared to the original”… I think if the creator doesn’t want their work to be compared and judged on comparison, they can make literally any other type of piece. I’m not arguing for a word for word adaptation - I think those are impossible, first of all, and just not fun to strive for. But slapping a recognisable title, names and plots into your work, and then turning around and asking people not to compare your work to the original is simply absurd lol

If you want your work to be judged solely on its own merits, then it has be solely your own work. If you're playing in someone else's sandbox, with their characters and their plot, then you'd better be ready for comparisons. The price of using familiar source material to your advantage is managing people's prior knowledge and expectations of that source material--be ready to pay the toll.

The ancient texts were true… They DO have a reaction image for everything…

These movies CHANGED ME

This is one of my favourite parts of the whole trilogy. It’s haunting.

Knowing Billy Boyd gave his own melody to it and everyone had chills after hearing him sing it. This is how you get actors involved with the story and character, this is how amazingly well these films were cast. Fans have been singing that haunting tune in echoing halls and caves and towers for 20 years now and it never loses its beauty.

And even better: Billy Boyd composed the tune to the song and then performed it for Peter Jackson and everyone else while filming. They only did one take! That very first take is the one that’s used in the film! He’s just that good!!

I sing it as a lullaby to my children but I use the original “away shall fade” to make it less sad because they’re just babies. uwu

Not even my fandom and I have chills.
