on tops of mountains

i don’t have anything normal to say

if you're having trouble sleeping the best you can do is put a bright object close to your face and look at it for at least 30 minutes. if that doesn't work you can close your eyes but make sure to think really hard about a bunch of bullshit

heated rivalry

and the fact that ilya kisses shane in front of david and yuna. ilya who has just met these people after being outed to them and after years of them believing he is both an asshole and their son's mortal enemy. and he already feels safe enough to kiss shane in front of them. we are good here.

“I stand with my cancelled wife” and it’s Shane Hollander talking about ilya being cancelled on twitter every 2-3 business days

re: prev reblog so cliff marlow gives a completely incomprehensible best man speech and everyone is just nodding politely and looking at each other like "do you know what he's talking about?" meanwhile ilya is full on sobbing like marly i did not know you had such a way with words

i need to get off tumblr i’m at the aquarium admiring the fish and my brain goes “posts that make you want to get in the water” what are you talking about. these are live fish in the room with you. what post.

i saw a post on twitter by a european saying americans are fake for their random compliments to strangers and their general cheery demeanor and like no. no no no you don’t understand. if you get a random compliment from an american on the street about your outfit or whatever, that is 100% genuine. we mean it. we aren’t lying we are making a small but fleeting connection with you because our lives are shitty but the human condition is enduring. oh god i’m clutching my chest

If you get a compliment from a random American on the street, know that they tried their best to keep from saying a peep to you but they literally could not hold it in. They HAD to say something.

The other day a tiny gay man in a hurry bumped me on the Metro escalator and said "Sorry, great dress by the way" and then he stopped at the top of the escalator and turned around and said "AND a great hat. THAT is how we do summer!" and SPRINTED for his bus and I coasted on that for the rest of the day.

One of my professors in grad school was an American married to a German, and ran into this constantly - he'd compliment his in laws on something and they just. Could not compute. His wife eventually published a paper on it.

i don’t have the healthiest coping methods but i haven’t killed myself yet so where’s my fucking medal

i WILL be nuzzling my face into you like a cat and really there’s nothing you can do about it
