Me reading enemies to lovers fics in 2021

I will never stop noticing that the people I know who take the biggest risks with their careers are the ones who were gifted literal entire homes by family.

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

Artificial violence is not actually a corrupting influence but hanging out with assholes sure is.

the real corruption was the friends we made along the way

@ adults who grew up in the age of “don’t even give out your first name online” what was ur fake name growing up online

I went by Snowfall on neopets for six years.

why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her

First of all, this is a very clever use of this gif. Secondly, fuck you.

My conservative family members seeing me taking up embroidery:

One week later when I post the finished project:

I had to reblog this as soon as I stopped laughing

Okay but using Karen for the betterment of others is a genius move I never could have seen coming

Be the good Karen you want to see in the world

Care-n

Thought I’d share a non covid meme.

Whoever created this meme has zero respect for nihilism and hedonism, and misplaced hatred of the mentally ill, and that’s a damn shame.

Then so do their creators, because Chuck Palahniuk and Justin Roiland have flatly said outright that Tyler Durden and Rick Sanchez are not people to be emulated in any shape or fashion because they *are* the negative aspects of their own lives.

hey here have some alternatives to these jerkfaces

you want a nihilist? you want someone in constant existential despair, who believes everything he does is functionally meaningless?

bam. done

you want neurodivergence? 

he’s worth idolizing

so’s she

so’s he

so’s he

heck, if you want mental illness, this guy canonically has schizophrenia and complex PTSD, and despite his…unique career choices, even he’s better than the Joker:

and you want hedonism? why aren’t you idolizing her?:

what i’m saying is, there are a lot of heroes we could be hanging out with if we could just kick our habit of adoring assholes 

I’m really tired of edgelords misunderstanding nihilism to excuse their shitty personalities. 

Merry Christmas y'all

can no longer listen to criticisms of how dumb people are in horror movies because it’s been half a year of a pandemic and we still can’t convince people to do something as basic as putting a piece of cloth over their face.

Oh you thought it was over?

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.

An occupational hazard of cab driving I had not previously considered

I love that the nola problem here is not “ghosts in my taxi cab,” but “ghosts are FUCKING BROKE DEAD BASTARDS & I GOT BILLS”

Horror is when ghosts get into cabs and scare drivers Magical realism is when cab companies have to develop policies to prevent ghastly fare-theft

In a book about the tsunami in Japan in 2011, the writer talked about how there was a huge increase in reports of ghostly activity. Apparently in Japan treating ghosts rudely is basically considered the stupidest thing you could possibly do. For months after the tsunami, taxi drivers would pick up a passenger only to have them give an address in one of the devastated areas. The cab driver often looked up halfway to the destination to find their fare had disappeared. Not wanting to be impolite to the person (even if they were dead) they’d drive to the address, open the door to let them out, then drive away.
