stay alive and be ready to fight

I was trying to explain to my sister-in-law that I simply cannot turn on my car headlights if anyone is looking at me and she thought I was crazy.

Literally nothing more embarrassing than tying your shoes in public like oh look at me I'm a 5 year old because I couldn't tie my shoes tight enough to last a walk through the kroger

are y’all okay

no

actually i never experience negative consequences due to procrastination. i am occasionally blighted by god for unknowable reasons though

I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.

I’m sorry to hear about your scalp.

wish there was a non rude way to be like “I understand your criticism, I don’t even necessarily disagree with it, but I am doing these things on purpose, because I like them and I want to, and therefore your opinion has no value, because you might think me painting a room entirely pink is tacky, but I did it on purpose”

steadily recognizing that i’m allowed to exist in public spaces and not feel embarrassed about it… can you believe i used to feel weird about/too inadequate to sit on a bench in a public space. it’s ok. you’re allowed to be. just be. just sit on a bench. it’s ok

Shoutout to giant trees!!!!

This was a nice progression of character development

reverse gaslighting where i pretend to know exactly what you are talking about

academic conferences

it's so funny how half of us are like "food is sacred and the kitchen is holy ground. to break bread with others is inherently sacrament" and the other half of us are like "my villain origin story is someone looked at me when i was in the kitchen"

If I love you, I will cook for you. If you want me to continue to love and cook for you, stay out of my kitchen.

me, your friendly neighborhood villain apologist: zuko was never evil he was just 16

like yeah i know he gets a bonkers good redemption arc but like. he didn’t actually need one because if you give a teenage boy a ship and tell the people on it to listen to him the least you can expect is some attempted murder. that’s not on him at that point

Wait, this originally happened when he was 13 and I’ll tell you that 13 year old me would have committed atrocities.

13yo me would’ve taken the free boat and straight up become a pirate and the fact that Zuko didn’t is really the biggest plot twist in avatar

AU where Zuko just becomes a pirate.

He still sees the light blast and goes to the South Pole but instead of trying to capture aang he rolls up in his free boat like ‘get in losers we’re going to kill my dad’

Yes, this. I like this.

some of y’all still can’t recognize the differences between platonic, romantic, sexual, mentor-student, and familial relationships, both in fiction and reality, and it really shows

some of y’all still think there’s only one type of love and it really shows

Didn’t the greeks have five words for love?
