My favorite story is that one time Tolkien was with some writer friends and he was like “oh I’ve got a new story to show you guys” and one of them was like “as long as it’s not more fucking elves”

and it was

it was more fucking elves

every time i read this i chuckle and think “classic Tolkien.” as if i personally knew him

I don’t think people give Flash enough credit.

…………….my goodness

He didn’t just rebuild an apartment building.

HE LEARNED HOW TO BUILD AN APARTMENT BUILDING. HE DID RESEARCH. IT TAKES SEVERAL YEARS TO LEARN ALL THE ENGINEERING AND LEGAL CONSTRAINTS OF BUILDING A BUILDING AND HE JUST DID IT.

This is one of my favorite flash comics. It really highlights how the flash doesn’t just run really fast, but can do absolutely astounding things. I remember reading this for the first time and having my head explode. 

Flash rules.

Flash is actually really freaking awesome.

to quote Hal Jordan: “the fastest man alive was always late because he stopped to befriend the people he saved” Barry Allen is a sweetheart

He even built a wheelchair ramp :’)

instead of Friends they should’ve called it Friends & Ross

every conflict the Friends had to face was directly the cause of Ross

just saw an episode where chandler was trying to give joey money since he was struggling financially but joey was too proud to take it so chandler made up a gambling game where joey always won so chandler could give him money without him knowing. perfect example of two great Friends. then joey, confident with his skills in the game, goes to ross to play with him and loses it all to ross. joey tells chandler and he goes to ross and explains the situation and how the game was fake and asks for his money back but ross wouldn’t give it back. just one of the many examples of ross being a worthless piece of shit

I just watched the episode where Rachel hires a male nanny, Sandy, who is perfectly qualified and experienced. All of the friends love him including Joey who says that he is ‘learning so much’ from him. Except of course Ross who is a dick to Sandy the entire episode just because Ross doesn’t think being a nanny is a man’s job. Ross even went as far as to ask if he was gay in the job interview which I’m pretty sure is a big no-no. Ross eventually ends up firing Sandy purely because he’s a man in a female dominated job and because he thinks is too sensitive which is hilarious because the only sensitive one here is Ross and his fragile masculinity.

What about the one where Ross gets upset because his two year old son wants to play with a Barbie? He spends the entire episode trying to convince him that G.I. Joe is better.

How about the part where Rachel got a dream job in Paris, and fuckboy Ross who had treated Rachel like shit in the past, decided to try and win her back at the airport when he should have just let her go to her dream job. 

I watched an episode where Ross and Rachel got trashed in Vegas and then went to the chapel and got married. When they came to Ross wouldn’t get an annulment because he didn’t want to be known as the guy who gets divorced. He is kind of awful.

KEEP THIS THREAD GOIN KIDS DRAG THAT FUCKER

Or the one where Ross yells at Rachel for dating Elizabeth’s dad because it’s “weird” for him but had no problem going out with Rachel’s sister, Jill, when Rachel had an issue with it.

Or how about the one where Rachel is having the time of her life at a job she loves, but insecure douche canoe Ross has a problem that she’s working with another man, and gives Rachel such a hard time about it, she decides she needs a break from their relationship

The show Friends actually invented the term ‘friendzone’ to describe Ross’ inability to show Rachel that he wanted to be with her (back at the start).

Or when Rachel and Joey get together and Ross freaks out about it even though he was currently dating Joey’s ex-girlfriend Charlie.

He told Rachel that he read the letter she wrote him so that they would get back together.

He got jealous that Rachel was living with Joey while she was pregnant with Emma.

Speaking of Emma he kept telling Rachel at the beginning of her pregnancy that there was no possible way she could do this alone and that they should get married cause it was the right thing to do

The amount of times he has made small comments about the influence Carol and Susan have on Ben.

He dated one of his students and didn’t seem to understand why her father was uncomfortable with their relationship. 

He is constantly correcting people and treating others like they aren’t as intelligent as he is because he has a Ph.D. And he thinks since he is “sensitive” and “nice” that women should want to be with him.

Ross is the epitome of “but I’m a nice guy.”

How about that one episode where Emily and Susan go out and spend some quality time together and Ross decides to convince Carol(who was completely faithful in her wife) that Susan is going to “turn Emily lesbian” and that Susan and Emily will be cheating

After years and years (or better said, weeks) I have finally gotten around doing my Japanese language masterpost. All links listed are resources that I have used to study for (and pass!) the N5 exam, but they are great for beginners as wel! I would also like to thank lovely Julie @designstudy for giving me the inspiration (and motivation) to finish this mp! So here we go:

►Books

→ here are the books I’ve used to study and fully reccomend to others as well (all are great for beginners too)

Japanese for busy people: I, II, II

►Mnemonics!

→life is hard, Japanese is harder, do yourself a favor and use mnemonics

►Kanji, Vocabulary and Grammar

→even if you don’t plan to take the N5, knowing these will definitely give you a better grasp of the language

►Practice, practice, practice!

→I cannot stress this enough. If you want to make any progress in studying this language or getting good scores on your exam, practice is vital! 

►Grammar help

→because the internet has a lot to offer and it’s a shame not to take advantage

Useful Youtube channels: here, here, here, here and here

Useful websites for grammar: here and here

►Music

→some of my favorite Japanese artists, beacuse let’s face it: studying a new language is 900% better when you also listen to music in that language

►Fun stuff

→for when you want to chill but also learn

►Some tricky stuff

→these are actually very useful w o w

►Cool Japanese studyblrs:

 → these are definitely worth to stalk/follow!!

…and on a final note, some tips:

  • Be consistent. From my experience, Japanese is a language that if not studied constantly, can be easily forgotten
  • Use separate notebooks/folders for grammar and vocabulary. You will thank me for this one later.
  • If you want your kanji/katakana/hiragana/whatever it is that you are writing to look neat, follow the stroke order ! ! !
  • Quizlet is your best friend when it comes to remembering vocabulary

Hope this helped someone!! Also if you have any questions/need some advice on where to begin, please don’t hesitate to hmu @sttudy

Thank you so much for the shout-out, and I’m so glad to hear that you passed the N5 exam! I think this is a really wonderful and helpful post, so I hope my followers check it out! :)

Fun fact: Ross handing the lamp to Chandler wasn’t scripted. David Schwimmer just randomly handed it to Matthew Perry. Matthew’s reaction is one hundred percent genuine.

That’s even better
