Our appetite to bisect the American psyche and believe doing so distances us or our caucus or whatever from our proscribed, mythical "other" parts of we'd like to think are "not us" is... amazing:
It like.. we believe if we show the mirror our good side then we can build hope for the future without addressing the dissonance.

Today in niche genres of joke that I can never get enough of and will probably still be secretly thinking about four years later
iām surely not the first to have thought of this but
I see trees of blue
blue roses too
I see them blue
like me and you
and i think to myself
Da ba dee, da ba daa

Weāre past the hump now and weāre not even getting good memes out of it
itās actually really easy to satisfy audiences with Good Representation. you canāt depict someone struggling with their Otherness because that portrays it in a bad light but you have to depict them struggling with their Otherness because if you donāt, then youāre romanticizing how hard it is to be Othered. be super careful not to depict anything that might be adjacent to a common stereotype but if you go too far to avoid all stereotypes, then youāre still building the characters around stereotypes, which is a stereotype in its own way. if your storyline uses tropes, then itās cliche, but if it avoids tropes, then itās inauthentic. if you lampshade any of this, then youāre speaking down to your audience but if you donāt acknowledge this, youāre also speaking down to your audience. this is all really easy stuff i donāt know why people donāt get it.
forgot The Most Important thing. you absolutely CANNOT make them perfect because that dehumanizes them, but if you give them flaws? hoooo boyā¦letās just say, you do *not* want to give them flawsā¦
first, I want to be clear saying some of my best characters are flawed..

oh dear
accidentally came across some page very confidently proclaiming that "in one foul swoop" is a legitimate idiom apart from, well, its literal meaning
one fell swoop: all in one go.
one foul swoop: taking something in a sneaky way, as in a heist
one fowl swoop: a hen flying down from the perch when the seed is scattered on the ground
one fowl soup: single-serve chicken broth
one foul soup: disgusting, donāt eat it ļæ¼
Please reblog this picture of my beautiful son.
I found a guide for a no tape, easy to unwrap wrapping tutorial to make Christmas a little more accessible, wish I just found it sooner
Could i not have seen that before Christmas? Anyway, queueing this for next december to save a life.
This is how they wrap surgical sets before sterilizing them (in a cloth not paper...god I wosh the cloth is a pain in the ass) except when they tuck the last bit in, they fold it over so the end is poking out of the box (like a pull tab).
Local man chooses to stand by principles, much to his chagrin.
Is one of my favorite character types. Yes, he is going to be idealistic, and righteous, and virtuous and it's going to make things so much harder for him and he knows this dang well and he hates it.
I don't like this.
I am not sure how to say this more clearly. I'm going to try, tho. Obviously.

Ladies, I am holding out my hand. Do you trust me?
I need you to open Google Maps. Locate your nearest mall. Get in your car. Drive to Yankee Candle.
Past the seasonal pumpkin display, near the back of the store, you will find a trash pile Man Candle section. You will see candles called MMM, Bacon!. Riding Mower. Man Town. (Iām not kidding. Man Town.) Stay strong. Not in this section, but likely very near this section, you will find a candle called Mountain Lodge.
Hold this jar in your hands like a talisman. Close your eyes and picture a man.
I want to be clear: Iām not talking about a Hugh Dancy. Or an Andrew Garfield, a Ben Whishaw, even a Tom Hiddleston. This exercise requires someone in the Chris Evans weight class. The Richard Armitage department. Someone with smile lines around his eyes who could chop the cedar for your bower with his own hands, strangle an alpha wolf, carry you home when you sprain your ankle in the woods, bench press your entire body. Picture this man in your mountain home with a full beard, a slightly grimy white henley, a fond half smile he reserves only for you. Now open the lid and smell Mountain Lodge.
Steady yourself on the man candle display. Give yourself a second. No, youāre not wrong. Yes, the Yankee Candle Company has just eliminated the need for men. This medium tumbler Mountain Lodge candle jar is now your boyfriend. The Yankee Candle Company has effectively replaced the need for contact with the male half of our species with a compact and clean-burning candle in a jar.
āDo you like this one?ā the cashier asked, ringing me up. āEvery man should be required by law to smell like what this candle smells like,ā I replied intensely. āThatāll be $12.01,ā she said.
MOUNTAIN LODGE
it literally smells like waking up on a cold night to find a bearded richard armitage adding another quilt to the bed before he gets back in and pulls you snugly against his chest
Iām not fucking around I feel like I should be watching chris hemsworth in flannel and suspenders whittling a delicate masterpiece in front of a fireplace rn
All right, Tumblr, I saw this post a few months ago and immediately realized IĀ hadĀ to smell this candle. Ā I have never in my life experienced such a burning need (pun intended) to smell what the Yankee Candle website described as a warm aroma of cedarwood and sage, but what Tumblr described as my new boyfriend.
The trouble is that nearest Yankee Candle Company store was a bit of a trek, and my schedule tended to prohibit this olfactory adventure.
So for the last few weeks, as Iād scroll my Tumblr dash and look at images of attractive manly men, Iād sigh and wistfully think, if only I could engage another sense with this image. If only I couldĀ I could truly fathom the ideal fragrance of this man.
And then this happened.
And I knew.
I knew whatever was happening, IĀ neededĀ to get to a Yankee Candle Company. The scent of Mountain Lodge would transport me instantly to this scene. The aroma of this infamous candle could make me live out a self-insertion Avengers fanfic.
So I got in my car, made the drive, and located the Yankee Candle Company. Ā The store was crowded with holiday shoppers. My nose was immediately assaulted by hundreds of warring scents. Ā
I battled through the sea of humanity and the Angel Wings-Merry Marshmallow-Magical Frosted Forest assault, buoyed on by my need to understand what Steve Rogers ripping a log in half with his bare hands smelled like.
I waded toward the back of the store, only to discover the man candle section seems to have been discontinued. What was I going to steady myself on, once I found my scented gateway to hanging out with the Avengers on Hawkeyeās farm? I felt lost, adrift, unable to find my bearings amid Soft Blanket-Fluffy Towels-Home Sweet Home.
And thenā¦ rising from the āFreshā display, there it was.
Mountain Lodge.
It was the moment of truth. What would it be like to smell this infamous candle?
I opened the lid. I took a deep breath.
And I giggled.
Ah yes. Ā This was it. Ā This gentle, pleasantly masculine fragrance, in fact, reduced me to what Iād probably do in the actual presence of Chris Evans:Ā giggle like an idiot.
The smell makes me smile, makes me laugh, makes me gently swoon: all reactions that, indeed, can be elicited by an ideal man.Ā I can barely handle the true power of Mountain Lodge.
Several months have passed since this discovery. I have regaled friends with the saga, and after hearing of it, they, too, felt the burning need to smell the candle. Ā One by one, we have all become Mountain Lodge converts. In times of need, this candle is our refuge. Our group has developed escapist superpowers, infused by the Yankee Candle Company.Ā
THE CANDLE, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND. Ā
MOUNTAIN LODGE.
This is how you do advertisement
we love everything about all of this. We will always be there for you, just light your Mountain Lodge candle and know that our love burns bright for you.
The official Yankee Candleā¢ tumblr account has recognized the Mountain Lodge mythos. My work on the material plane is finally complete. A being of pure light, I slowly ascend to the aether.
