“you can’t forget your mother tongue” okay but have you considered bilinguals and polyglots whose first language isn’t english and whose development during adolescence was shaped by consuming content and media only in english and have ever since viewed that second language, foreign to their own, as a better outlet for their emotions and thoughts? as Yiyun Li said “it is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet impossible in my native language.”

The hotdogs taped together with what looks like scotch tape really makes this for me

it’s always summer v winter bitches fighting for their life, where are the spring/autumn girlies, the moderate temperatures crowd, the transition period aficionados, the ‘sun is shining but the wind’s cold’ connoisseurs, the ‘decay and rebirth of nature’ devotees

Treasure Planet was so right. About everything, but specifically I mean about the whole spaceships and technology blended with 18th century aesthetic.

that shark is accurately smooth as hell

My favorite part of this - easily - is the way he’s grinning through the whole thing. This is the smile of a man who’s thinking “Oh this is nuts. This is objectively unhinged. This is such a stupid thing to be spending time on … and I LOVE IT!!!”

“Why do people like a character who’s committed war crimes but hate this other character just because they’re annoying” because it’s fiction Susan, and being annoying in fiction is a greater sin than being a supervillain, because it won’t make me want to read about them. It isn’t difficult to understand

“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” (Oscar Wilde)

The war crimes are fictional but my annoyance is real.

10 year old me was like when wings sprout from my spine then you’ll see.. you’ll all see…

the way p&p 2005 said: here's one of the most beloved enemies to lovers romances of all time, we don't need to change anything but here's keira knightley and the most socially awkward mr darcy you have ever seen. we're going to sprinkle in a hand touch and an almost kiss during an argument following a love confession in the pouring rain. what excellent boiled potatoes. yearn. you will think about this movie every day for the rest of your life.

you know a Reddit AITA is gonna be good when it’s titled like ‘AITA for [insert perfectly benign or benevolent act that anyone would agree with doing here]?’ and it has the asshole flare

a non-Reddit observer might take this post as meaning that the comments section of a post like this is just outwardly malicious to an actually good deed, and don’t get me wrong like it’s Reddit and people WILL do that shit, but you’d be surprised to know that this in fact is an indicator that op is actually an insane person being roasted in the comments section for good reason, and you now get to open the thread to see exactly why

“AITA for burning down my brother’s house?” ends up being a thread where OP rescued his small nieces and nephews from a raging drug party, accidentally knocking over his brother’s meth lab in the process and therefore setting the place ablaze; “AITA for giving my daughter a stuffed toy when she was crying??” ends with it being revealed that OP manufactures the toys himself in a sweatshop staffed by local 8-year-old orphans
