more people have been to russia than i have

Speaking from experience, the "normal to want and possible to attain" meme has been revolutionary for the "abnormal to want, impossible to attain" crowd

(thinking of something I want) is this normal. Is it attainable

Did you know? That the back is made up of terrible and evil muscles that are only waiting for their chance to betray you

*producer about to make one of the worst seasons of television ever put to screen* surely writing purely in reaction to what the fans are saying on twitter will work out great for us this time

Getting your information about popular media via online fandoms is like the Allegory of the Cave, except the guy in the upper chamber keeps making shadow puppets of dicks.

i just apolitically killed the king like i have no agenda or whatever im just the jester here but i stabbed him anyway LOL all the courtiers and advisors are trying really hard to figure out who did it LOL all of them wanted him dead but they dont know whose scheme it was so nobody can promulgate a coherent political maneuver based on the circumstances LOL just playing my lute #MyLute

new chess piece called the jester which can move anywhere on the board but can't capture anything. it just gets in the way to annoy your opponent

potentially controversial but i don't think "male sexuality is inherently predatory (and so if you don't want to be predatory, you're probably a girl) is a winning feminist take. i actually think it's exactly the opposite and we should really be avoiding the implication that predatory misogynistic behavior is biological and not social in nature

Sometimes I think about Alphonse Elric and my heart breaks. Can you imagine not being able to sleep or eat for almost five whole years? He couldn't feel the warmth of the sun, the wind in his hair, the catharsis of tears streaming down his face, the embrace of another. He had to hide away from so many people, feared getting too close only to be discovered. He lied time and time again about why he wore the armor, why he couldn't eat. You think the people who knew him for a long time like Mustang and Hawkeye still hear the echo in his voice? Still expect to feel cold metal when they reach out to him? You think every time someone mistook him for the Fullmetal Alchemist, he felt just a twinge of insecurity? "I didn't get this body because I wanted it." "It's not my fault I'm so big." He is fourteen years old for the majority of the series. He is a child. But it's so easy to see the size of his armor and forget that he's still just a kid who wanted to see his mom's smile again. When he is capable of taking so many hits without damage and fight without tiring and walk through blizzards without freezing, it's easy to forget he's just a boy. When I visualize Al as a character, I visualize the armor. When I realized that, when I realized I don't visualize the boy within the armor, my heart broke.
