there will be happier times again.

(tone of complete and utter exhaustion) this is the day that the Lord hath made

you might be smooth but you’ll never be as smooth as Joe from The Princess Diaries sweeping the queen into a tango saying “you’ve been wearing black too long” in his most alluring voice

i have wild sentences roaming through me at all times

man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great

I was thinking about the way most fan artists draw little Dick Grayson's clothes after he starts living at Wayne Manor, the way it's sort of that mix of jumpers, shirts, shorts and knee socks that brings in mind the 40s and I had the thought that while Bruce may not have had the idea of picking up clothes for Dick in the early days of taking him in. I mean Dick had clothes already, but kids at that age burn through clothes with wear, tear and growing. So I think, Alfred certainly took that responsibility on by himself. I thought maybe he styled Dick's new wardrobe after how Bruce dressed at that age but then, I thought what if all those little outfits had been Bruce's? Alfred, of the 'waste not, want not' mentality perhaps or maybe sentimental Alfred who just wanted to see them again, just giving Dick trunk after trunk of these well preserved clothes. And Bruce? Bruce doesn't even realise because mentally, he's blocked out all those little details of his past.

So I’m a Showman (gypsy from the fairground/circus) and do you know what makes this even funnier? That’s how we, culturally, dress our kids. It is completely normal for boys, at least until they’re about 10ish when they start to want to dress more grown up, to wear shorts and little knee high socks and patent shoes and shirts and jumpers casually. It’s what my brother grew up wearing, my dad, my cousins — that’s the standard for us. So Dick, being a gypsy from the circus, absolutely could have seen those clothes and just been like, ‘thank God, they have decent clothes!’ and thought absolutely nothing of it because that’s what he was used to anyway.

This was one of the biggest reasons my mother gave me Dick comics as a kid — because he looked and acted like us, and we so rarely got good rep.

what they don’t tell you is that sometimes you’ll want to leave, until you actually do. then all you’ll want is to go back

I can't believe home depot literally produced a wildly successful science fiction musical and we all just pretend it didn't happen. on one hand yes it had a boring white guy main character but like.... home depot just... Made it? And it had shit ton of box office sales? and no one even talks about this. this is like avatar (2009) all over again

OK so. After a lot of frantic googling I realized this was all a dream. home depot did not in fact produce a wildly successful science fiction musical. I was on allergy meds and took a nap and my brain simply prophesized this. slightly disappointed because I wanted to watch it.

@jared-wormsboy i am crying uncontrollably

ethos, pathos, logos, and d'artagnan

sometimes water tastes so good and you drink it in such a ferociously passionate way that you frighten yourself

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you
