Comfortably Numb

@/teaboot

This isn't even a joke it's just what we do

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

this is not a place of honor

Oh hey post of Ozymandius, good to see you again standing on your feet in a desert where no one remembers you

Let the path of this post continue.

i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”

squinting at a tag and trying to decide how badly I want to learn a new word

oh this was about someone specific

First test flight of a flying car by Mazda partially a success

I feel like the Arizona license plate should take some place in our analysis of whatever in the goddam fuck we’re looking at here

uber's here

Except, critically, at bedtime.

Neuroscience is the closest you're gonna get to a user's manual. This is all good advice.

I feel like this should be said periodically, even if just for myself: fandom is ultimately a very personal experience. It has tribal elements (we love the thing, we love how the thing is made, we love how it makes us feel), but the experience is individual. You don’t necessarily look for the same experience in the thing the people in your feed do. And that’s fine. You can like what you like. It’s not making you worse or better. Just be aware that fandom is made for the love of it. You don’t have to look at the thing or read the thing if you don’t want to. No one’s making you.

one of my favorite bits in lord of the rings is something the movies didn't really try to do because it's entirely internal, but sam's carrying the ring and it starts trying to do its work on him, so he's having these intrusive visions of himself marching at the head of a vast and terrible army, and he just starts laughing because, me? samwise gamgee? sam gamgee the general sam gamgee the dark lord are you for real? man i just want to go home and do some gardening. and the ring gets frustrated and it starts trying to figure out other stuff that would actually tempt sam and it's finally like, okay, but hear me out: imagine if you could have...A REALLY REALLY BIG GARDEN

and then he's like, i don't know that sounds like a lot more work than a regular garden actually. why don't we just get on with finding mister frodo
