live laugh llllllets get ready to rrrruuuuumblllll

*As of the moment you first read this poll. Unless you already have specific winning lottery numbers memorized you aren’t going back with that knowledge. You can remember the majority of the information from your prior life, but it won’t cause traumatic/PTSD effects - it’ll feel like you’re remembering someone else’s story in great detail. Unless you do something to change it specifically, all world events will remain the same including major economic events, wars/famine/pandemics, etc.

You know, "oh we have to make sure your talents don't go to waste! we have to nurture your intelligence!" and now your school is insisting you be bumped up a grade or two, your family is paying for special tutors or even fucking bankrolling you into a fancy expensive school for smarty special kids and now thats your whole fucking life

no you wanna be so fucking average a child, so low maintenance, that you practically fade into the background. Come up with things to be hyper fixated on like a normal kid would, while hiding your real likes. This is so when you're being punished for somthing, your parents'll be all "OK ASSHOLE, NO MORE POWER RANGERS!" and you'll be there all:

Don't talk like an adult, don't try to be too mature, do this and you can breeze through childhood without being hassled. No, you wanna be as "average" as possible until your first year of highschool, because thats when grades and intelligence actually "matter"

Nothing you do in elementary school or middle school actually "matters" if that makes sense. As long as you aren't failing grade wise or making yourself a terror/pain in the ass, being a C student (yeah yeah throw in some Bs and an A once in a blue moon) is the way to go because its not like you're gonna get fired from school if you're just coasting right

Will your family be on your ass to improve grade wise? Yep, and thats why the whole "fake liking things" deal is so important, they'll be all "IF YOU DON'T IMPROVE THEN YOU LOSE BEANIE BABY/MINECRAFT PRIVILAGES" or whatever. Pretend to have a favorite show so they can deny you it when they get mad about whatever and so on. You do all this to keep the frustration that is "your parents control your entire life" at a minimum and keep them thinking they're still in charge

Eventually when you reach 10-15 your fam will be locked in on this "you" thats the "real" you, but when you enter highschool?

Now drop the pretense and act like your adult real self. fucking blow everyone away and get those grades up to get a full college scholarship

i was invited to once again do a piece for the dndads pride zine, and i spent about 2 hours in a panic with no idea what to do. and then i was struck by inspiration and knew exactly what i wanted to do. so go buy the zine and then you can see this piece in the real life whaow!

I am reading Tim Curry’s 2025 memoir, Vagabond

and in it, he not only devotes a chapter to Muppet Treasure Island, but also references this very post

so, to recap

no, Tim Curry is absolutely NOT a Muppet; however

thought about this because it's so frustrating when people argue that 'dying in childbirth' is a historical sort of event that doesn't happen nowadays (false) and therefore is irrelevant to the legal status of abortion, since it's not a real danger.

except it super is, and i think a lot of people haven't noticed that this argument in addition to simply being incorrect is basically the same as when people say we don't need vaccines for deadly diseases because no one gets those now anyway.
