It's Tebby Time

children and teenagers are completely correct in how they feel about school and family btw, they just might not have the words for it that will get them taken seriously. let's be real though they wouldn't be taken seriously even if they worded it perfectly. youthlib now

I will never forget the time a classmate offhandedly said to me that his dad told him kids couldn't feel stress when he admitted to being stressed out.

I’m at the point where my meds don’t fit confortably in my pill organizer, and I’m this close to buying a bunch of plastic capsules and a gumball machine and calling it a day.

... I should have known better than to post this to tumblr. Y’all just pilot my lack of impulse control like a mech at this point.

This is getting a lot of notes again and is reminding me that I should try to get out for more walks in the nice autumn weather

I know I've said it before but every rewatch I do cements this thought further - elijah wood's performance in LOTR is absolutely insane, they really had a character whose name means "wise by experience", hired an 18-year-old to do it, and he delivered so much that not only is it a beautiful and moving role on its own, it's a performance equal to those of the absolute powerhouses he played side by side with like ian holm and ian mckellen. to name just a few

the fetish post author's poorly-disguised second, less acceptable fetish

I love when an artist does something as a joke but then obviously thinks about it until they trick themselves into being into it. like haha I drew them in the green alien au where they're both green aliens who say gleepblorp [three days later] I drew another green alien picture

Semi-open-world 2D platformer about repairing a high-tech facility where the player character's movement tech is static, but completing certain objectives causes various types of Celeste style precision platforming gimmicks to appear or become active throughout the map. This game exists purely to cause arguments about whether it's a metroidvania.

I love it when period media about ancient cultures depicts the stonework in their architecture as very rounded and blobby in a way that makes it 100% clear that the designer was simply imitating the way it looks now. Like, what the fuck is erosion? Obviously it just started out that way.

I suspect you're giving too much credit for the amount of thought that goes into this stuff if you imagine those questions are even being asked. I have on multiple unconnected occasions bumped into media ostensibly set in Ancient Greece where the statues are already missing their arms.

honestly I hate “can you pet the dog?!?” not for any of the common reasons but because it was initially interesting as a proposition of “can you interact with the world in a way that is not within the primary mechanical loop” and that very quickly fell away to being “well now any indie developer making a game has to have a pet the dog button or they’re going to get letters”

One of my dream projects has an NPC with a dog, and if you try to pet it, the owner tells you not to do that. If you try again, it bites you and you take damage. I want to do this entirely because I genuinely believe that this would make me feel way more grounded in the world than any “click button to see cute animation” would ever do, and also it would be really funny to have a game where people lose their runs because they tried to pet a dog they were told not to pet
