I'm not occult, I'm ethereal!

something i really appreciate about legend of korra is because they wanted to include so many legacy characters who were the kids of the previous cast, it ends up having a lot of cool 30-60yr old characters. like instead of only focusing on the teenaged characters you get dope story arcs around 50 year old women. give it up for dope 50 year old women in animated media.

Humans literally evolved armpit and pubic hair to be more musky as a result of sexual selection and now the beauty industry is telling you to shave your bush and armpits. I trust the taste of a prehistoric cave woman more than the taste of a Gillette marketing department thank you very much.

I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”

HAVE THAT CHARACTER GAIN WEIGHT AS A SIGN OF HEALING: NOW

i bought the new Lego Tower of Babel set but the instructions stop making sense about halfway through the little booklet thingy.

isn't that that Tolkien book

Ah yes, The Silmulsimultaniousatnululsy, a classic piece of Tolkien literature

they can't possibly know if it like has a bag of almonds down in a trench somewhere when theyre not looking

Stephen King rightly gets a lot of shit for frequently having his characters think and speak in pop culture references that only make sense if you spent your formative years in 1970s Maine, but I feel like articulating that particular criticism on Tumblr is something of a glass-houses situation.

Like, yeah, King will have literal space aliens making pop culture references that only old men from small-town Maine would plausibly make; however, I have seen the kinds of novels that people who spent their twenties on Tumblr write, and there is also a very definite sense of time and place.

#my brain deciding what information to retain

revolutionary idea but i think things should be less hard and upsetting and stressful. who's with me
