saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

my dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

not to give a man credit but shout out to killatrav for pursuing his celeb crush who turned out to be an unhinged mess at the time and sticking around anyway to be her hype man

When you're unsuccessfully looking for something and start gradually increasing your It Could Be There range. Like yeah sure maybe the rice cooker pot is in the freezer, idk

Good Tropes™
- [Orders enough food for several people] and whatever you guys want
- ‘Sorry I’m late’ ‘You’re right on time’
- Two characters having a conversation while on opposite sides of a wall/door
- The hero is snooping some place they shouldn’t be and is about to get caught. The baddies enter and the room is completely empty. Bonus points if they then show the hero clinging to the ceiling
- Someone turning up in the nick of time to save the heroes in a car/plane/spacecraft/etc and asking ‘need a ride?’
- Someone tells a (true) story and it is later revealed they were one of the people in the story
- ‘Get down!’ *tackles them to the floor*
- ‘Hi [name]’ *immediately begins escorting them out of the door/hangs up on them* ‘bye [name]’
- Character walks past a doorway and sees something strange, carries on walking for a few steps, then realises what they just saw and backs up for another look
- Someone charges at another character who dodges it by calmly stepping to the side. Bonus points if the charging character carries on through a doorway
- A has been delivering a monologue for quite some time and when they are finished B slowly blinks and says some variation of ‘I don’t understand a word you just said’
- New character meets the Team for the first time, who are being their usual absurd/intimidating selves, and asks ‘who the hell are you people?’
- Everyone has to leave the restaurant/bar/coffee shop and one character frantically tries to finish their food/drink before they go
- ’[Name], I presume?’
- Random character discovers some important new evidence and has to race to find the other characters to tell/warn them in time
- Dramatically putting up or taking off their hood
- [Badass declaration]. Any questions?
- That one character who is always coming up with new slang words and hoping they will catch on
- ‘My friends call me [nickname/shortened name]. You can call me [full name/title]’. Alternatively, ‘you may not call me anything’
- A and B are together when A’s phone rings and they answer it. After a beat they hold it out for B and say ‘it’s for you’. Bonus points if the caller had no way of knowing A and B would be together. Alternatively, bonus points if B didn’t answer their own phone because they don’t want to speak to the caller, prompting them to phone A instead
- B comes to A’s house and knocks on the door. When A answers it, they barge straight in and start talking, leaving A still standing at the door and prompting them to say ‘please. Come in’
- Someone tries to shoot the character but misses and hits their hat or something instead, so the character gets angry and is like ‘that was my favourite hat!’
- Character wants to know the time so they grab their friend’s wrist to check the watch they are wearing
- Character begins speaking about a traumatic event that happened in the past and cuts themselves off to rephrase so they won’t have to say the specifics of the event eg. ‘after he - …after what he did’
- After a tragic event, the token evil teammate/morally ambiguous ally starts helping the gang and becomes one of the good guys full time
