I'm gonna live and draw by this now, thank you

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

I hate when I have a drawing idea but it’s not really an idea and it’s really just a specific vibe that I want to portray but I can’t even. Imagine what that would *look* like so I just sit here listening to music staring off into space trying to think how I could possibly draw this inexplainable vague vibe that I have..

a severe thunderstorm warning that doesnt follow through is worse than orgasm denial

one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.

do other countries do the whole “leaving furniture you want gone on the curb for other people to just grab” or is that an american thing

The Dutch do it and it's called The King's Gift, but when Brits do it, taking the stuff is actually a crime called, wait for it, Theft By Finding.

😭

this is probably the worst place to give this take but i think that if you’re asexual due to medical/chemical/hormonal etc reasons (and you could theoretically be “cured”), you still count as asexual. like i don’t think the “why” matters very much.

I mean I'm a lesbian due to medical/chemical/hormonal reasons (used to be bi, grapefruit-sized ovarian cyst exploded, no attraction to men since), people get very invested in the idea of their sexuality as 100% completely unchangeable. And I'm sure that's true for some people, but it's very silly of them to say that when sexuality is *potentially* changeable, the present state doesn't actually exist. That's like saying someone isn't a real [job] because they could theoretically get a different job.

Every mythical creature has a natural counterpart meant to balance them out. Elves and dwarves, werewolves and vampires, etc. Humans have just discovered they too have a counterpart.

It was the neandthals but due to prehistoric humans breeding with them have somehow become the magical apex

maybe this is insensitive of me but i find it really funny that the human behavioural response to being sufficiently bored and isolated is to devise increasingly creative ways to harm our bodies and risk our lives just to have something to react to. and no small amount of innovation has been achieved this way. yeah sorry but if you don't give me enough treats and puzzles i'm going to start hurting myself for fun.

"you're going to hurt yourself badly doing that" actually i'm very good at it. i've had lots of practice you see.

every time you make art of any kind, a stat that is not visible to the player goes up. also, this is the most important stat in the game

does singing in the shower count as art

does a strong as fuck ice mummy have ice powers

does writing fanfiction count as art

don't make me say the mummy thing again
