space is cool

just saw a progressive ad where a young woman is working in a completely dark office (implying after hours) and the narrator was like “look at amy now, working hard to buy a boat later” and then it cut to amy at around 60 on a small pontoon boat and it was supposed to be funny or whatever but it was so fucking bleak to me. so absolutely completely bleak. 60 year old amy having fun with her progressive agent on her pontoon boat because you’re only allowed to have fun after retirement because before retirement you’re supposed to grind yourself to dust in a dark office after everyone else has gone home. amy can’t even have that boat now. it wasn’t even a nice boat. it wasn’t even a yacht it was just a shitty little pontoon. grind yourself up to afford a shit boat in 30 years, maybe

i fucking hated your shoelaces this entire time

Thinking about the whole "there is no platonic explanation for this" thing and how it doesn't account for intense platonic situationships and anyways I think we should start saying "there is no casual explanation for this" bc really what we're talking about is the way the characters in question are Obsessed with each other

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry
