Ghosting Along

Since the two best-selling games of all time are Tetris and Minecraft, I think we can safely say that people fucking LOVE squares

lord of the rings was wild like that

A lot of people here don’t understand that ‘Shakespeare created beautiful and profound art’ and ‘Shakespeare made a lot of dick jokes’ aren’t mutually exclusive. That’s the thing about Shakespeare and why he’s so lasting: we get both worlds together. We’re captivated by the language, moved by the plights of complex characters…and we get a good laugh out of the rude humour. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

happy halloween. it is halloween every single day from now until the end of october. happy fucking halloween

The point isn’t to date someone who likes all the exact same things as you but to date somebody who isn’t a complete fuck and won’t mock you or your interests just because you don’t share them

Also someone who wants to know & care about your interests

mosquitoes had the nerve…the audacity…the unmitigated gall…to come into my home…where i pay the bills…and suck the blood out of my veins…veins i’ve had for 22 years…

Shrek and Han Solo kinda dress the same

I wonder when exactly it was that Star Trek stopped being perceived as light, fluffy, not-really-legitimate sci fi that ~housewives~ liked and started being seen as serious nerd business that girls had to keep their gross cooties off. 

Also when did the Beatles start to be remembered as rock legends rather than a silly boy band teenaged girls liked?

When men decided they liked them.

this is seriously exactly how it happened. Women were actually the first rock and roll ‘critics’ because they would write in to women’s papers and magazines to share and discuss what their kids were listening to when men still thought it was trashy teeny bopper music. once it became a lucrative, mainstream genre men shoved women out of the space. Men also tend to be gatekeepers once they move into formerly female spaces - early trek fandom was incredibly open and inclusive; women would set up fan get togethers in their own houses to discuss the show or invite the actors to visit before conventions became a thing, and then were huge in organizing the first conventions - but now the stereotype of a trekkie is a nerdy white dude who scoffs derisively at casual fans and newbies with his encyclopedic and pedantic knowledge of trek

I propose we call this “mentrification”

YES

MENTRIFICATION that’s genius
