I will NOT shut up!

Posts like this are the reason why I can’t tell anyone IRL that I’m on Tumblr….. How do you explain that to people??

@dancing-thru-clouds

Listen, we have to keep this thing circulating on the internet for at least another two decades, because I have to believe that one day that little girl will be grown enough to stumble upon it and She Will Explain

We’ve made it 5 years folks

okay. breathe. listen to my voice. can you tell me five things in this room you can fuck?

okay great. now list me four things in this room you can kill.

beautiful. there you go. okay. now: tell me three things you can impose unjust taxes on.

almost done. can you list two things you could shove in a pipe and smoke?

last one: one thing you could use as a makeshift weapon?

We need a flick where King Arthur wakes in modern Jamaica and is very confused.

I think that would be so much funny. He wakes up on a remote beach in Jamaica and he only speaks/understands Brythonic and Medieval Latin. Locals assume he was a tourist who fell from a cruise ship or received a head injury and floated away from a resort. The authorities cannot match his description to any missing persons reports and his fingerprints and DNA produce no hits on INTERPOL. They suspect he may be Welsh or French because the language he speaks resembles Welsh or Breton but France and the UK both state he is not a citizen of their country. Stateless and deeply confused, he is taken in by the community near the beach where he was found, being cared for by a number of local families and doing odd jobs. He slowly learns English and adjusts to the contemporary world, uncertain if his belief that he is the legendary King Arthur was formed by whatever traumatic event caused him to end up Jamaica or if he is actually King Arthur and Prydain is in eminent peril. Mysterious letters from Morgan begin to reaffirm his belief he is King Arthur. He must choose between staying in Jamaica and continuing the happy life he has made for himself or finding a way to get back to Britain without any documentation.

ancient king white boy stuns locals by ordering in perfect Jamaican Patois

He gets to Britain and everyone expects him to sound like a posh noble Englishman because that is the picture Malory painted but he prefers to speak Welsh and when he has to speak English, he speaks with a thick Jamaican accent.

I think they use bad weather in the home office because they want to invoke the sense of "I should stay in this room and work, it's nice in here." If the weather is nice, the feeling is more "It's such a beautiful day, and I want to go outside and enjoy it. Instead I'm stuck in here, and I don't like it."

im begging the zutara fandom to ship with no regrets; i see so many posts by zutara shippers being like "i respect the canon but" or "the live action will probably follow the canon and that's okay but" and its like fuck the canon. lol zutara is better than the canon. ship that shit proudly. this fandom didn't last two decades because us og shippers cared about what bryke thought lol

Watching the live action Avatar on Netflix is heartbreaking because it's like seeing Zuko get a spectacular do over with Katara and watching him choose wrong again.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

Started listening to Welcome to Night Vale for the first time about a week ago, aka over a decade after it started. I had never heard of it before and was recommended it by some friends. I didn't know that Cecil was gay or that it was super popular until I had started listening. I just now came upon my first Tumblr Sexyman Cecil fanart and my eyes and mouth instinctively scrunched up into a disgusted frown with an immediacy I've never experienced before. I know there is more to come. I know if I want to look at fanart I will not be able to escape it. I am filled with grim apprehension that if I ever want to look at the fandom I will need to endure Skinny Blond White Anime Cecil, and I'm just not sure I have it in me. I learned about this character 5 days ago and I'm already going "He would not fucking look like that" at all the 9-year-old comments on each episode. This battle has already been lost, yet I fear I am being sent to the front lines anyway. It's all over for me, and I've only just started season 2.

I listened to WTNV with my kids when they were in elementary school, because we're all weird in this family. My youngest pictured Cecil as an old man with a biker beard. He's whatever you want him to be, and don't let anyone tell you different.
