Mountain Don't

not aromantic but I believe in their beliefs.

"there's no platonic explanation for this" try harder bucko

love is a beautiful wonderful multifaceted nebulous thing that shouldn't be reduced to the strict bounds of Tier One: Romance and Tier Two: Friends. get weird with it. love your friends deeply, wildly, passionately and platonically. cowards

do you ever hear yourself talking and one word comes out very pronounced in you regional accent and you get irrationally embarrassed because oh no now people are going to know i’m from a place

“If you promise to stay alive just a little bit longer I promise that we are going to make this world a place worth living in by any means necessary. I ain’t giving up. I swear.”

I can’t stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it

Whoever in Clackamas wrote this message on their bus stop, I love you

Hc that Ford gets a job at a local community college as a physics prof after he and Stan are done sailing around the world and fulfills his destiny as the eccentric professor he was always meant to be

And he quickly gains a reputation amongst the stem students as That Professor

I bet his ratemyprof reviews would be insane:

“He didn’t grade any of our homework until the end of the semester, but he brought something called a ‘plaidypus’ to class and let us pet it. Her name was Dorothy. 5/5”

“He constantly ranted about how ‘triangles are the most untrustworthy shape’ whatever that means. Also he doesn’t know how to use the internet. I hated his class. 5/5”

And many more iterations of “this guy is terrible. 5 stars”

"Professor Stanford Pines once lept up onto a table in the middle of class to catch a bee that had gotten in, and then completely derailed class to talk about how great bees are. Amazing class i learned a lot. 5/5"

"Dr Pines has a twin brother who he occasionally mentions, and once a guy who looked IDENTICAL to Dr Pines taught instead. The class itself was fine (albeit with more swears) but it's clear it was a totally different guy."

"This professor doesn't start grading until the end of the semester, grades extremely harsh, and answers all emails in a manner that is so untimely it borders on straight up disrespect. He talks about fairytales and monsters in such a way that im surprised he's not an english major, but its clear he's absolutely brilliant. I would never take his class again."

"Doctor Pines is known for hard grading but that's just because he has high expectations and wants his students to be curious and willing to seek help. As long as you bring even an ounce of interest into a conversation about science (either relating to the class topic or otherwise) he will match you 110%. Will answer any question very enthusiastically. Knows basically every scientific subject somehow?? Asked him for help on a paper on molecular structuring during office hours (that are for some reason held at 10-12 pm--that's right, PM.) and he was very kind and thorough when he wasn't going on tangents on the existence of hopefully-hypothetical shapeshifters. 5/5."

"I'm not entirely convinced this man knows what computers are. He writes paper corrections with a quill. Might be a time traveling alchemist. 5/5."

"Don't draw triangles in the margins of your paper. He will shoot your test with a laser gun. He did let me disassemble and reassemble the gun after so I'm not mad about it. 5/5."

"Hot. I think he thinks sexual attraction is a myth, unfortunately enough for me. 5/5."

"love his energy but MAN can he sound condescending. there's something about his voice... 4/5"

"I wish he would stop getting on to the tables and walking around on them while lecturing, half of my notes have mud prints on them now. At the very least he could wipe his boots off beforehand. That's just common decency. Sit in the back and hope he doesn't get to your table before the hour is up. 5/5"

"He's insane. 5/5"

"once looked in his bag and there was a whole dead (?) owl in there. not sure what that was about. 3/5"

"For 6 months I've been stopping by and saying Hi to Dr Stanford whenever I see him around the business department, and for 6 months he's been responding as normal and helping answer any pressing physics questions I have, 6 MONTHS I've talked to him in passing and in class, and only NOW do I discover that it turns out that the guy in the business department building is NOT Dr Stanford Pines, my physics professor, but is in fact the advanced BUSINESS professor, StanLEY Pines, his twin brother. For 6 MONTHS this man I have never had a class with was doing the voice and mannerisms of my physics teacher just to fuck with me. I would complain to someone but the guy was genuinely helpful when I asked questions about hypothetical physics and didn't go off on tangents like Dr Pines would. Still don't know how a business guy knows so much about physics. I give both of them 5 stars."

random stan pines lore that sends me every time i think about it:

you finally confess your attraction to the hot priest and he's like "oh darling, I thought you'd never ask" and proceeds to bite your neck and turn you into another catholic priest

#hm. that sounds wrong but i dont know enough about catholics to say for sure [via @kirtlandswarbler]

moment of unspeakable beauty today when one of my coworkers called another coworker "judas" for not splitting a can of white monster with her, and i got to watch the guy who sits next to me open a new google tab, type in "jeudis," and say quietly to himself "french thursday...?"

i beat myself up for not knowing enough about my special interests a lot but then i remember the average person off the street has no idea what the carboniferous is and i feel better

are you really bad at it or are you in "good at it" spaces

Me: ah shit, I misidentified that yellow rumped warbler as a female goldfinch, I should literally be hung at the gallows for this. I'm such an IDIOT

My friend, pointing at a vulture: check out that fucked up crow lol

I feel this so much

I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.

sorry for not answering messages for three thousand years i have. Stew. in place of a brain. you know how it is

Inspired by this

being on the aro spectrum would be a lot easier if being single wasn't made to feel like a literal death sentence

it's all very well to say "friends are just as important as romantic partners" but in practice this simply is not the case lmao. you can share a flat with a friend but it's expected that sooner or later that friend will meet someone and will move out to go live with that person instead. if you're hanging out with friends you can bring your partner along but your friends can't come on a date night with you because that's third-wheeling and it's weird. you can know somebody for most of your life and still be second-best to some guy they met on tinder 6 months ago. you're meant to just accept without question the fact that your friends will prioritise time with their partners over time with you. being single is treated like a problem that needs to be fixed. we casually use expressions like "just friends" or "more than friends". everything we read and watch reinforces the idea that romantic love is what gives life meaning and therefore your life is meaningless without it. i try to keep my chin up but my god it is bleak out there

You’ll never convince me that Stan was dumb. Sure he may not have been a genius like his brother, but I am a firm believer that Stan had glasses when he was a kid. His dad stopped replacing them after he broke them in a fight too many times (Filbrick didn’t believe him when he said he was defending Ford from getting bullied) and the reason Stan struggled in school was because HE COULDN’T READ THE BOARD. Not because he wasn’t smart.

I’m an equally firm believer that Stan realized he needed glasses after trying on Ford’s one day post-portal incident (in a moment of missing his brother terribly and thinking that if he put his glasses on he’d be able to see him in the mirror) and to his surprise he could see way better. Then he went and got his own glasses because he didn’t feel right wearing Ford’s. But I digress. I think Stan started making progress on learning the science required to fix the portal once he was able to actually read the textbooks.

Ya feel? I have a lot of headcanons rattling around my brain and I’m slowly finding the courage to post them here

When a fic doesn’t fit my head canons but it’s well-written

#he wouldn't fucking say that but i'm getting kind of attached to the guy you invented who did say that
