"you do not owe friends instant responses to every social message, and anxiety over not receiving the same is something for the anxious person to work on, not your responsibility to totally change for"

AND

"you have to put some effort into friendships, which can include open communication with your friends about how to make both of you comfortable re: messaging. expecting other people to do ALL of the work ALL of the time, in terms of getting in touch and carrying on the conversation, may make them feel ignored and/or and leave"

are ideas that can and should coexist

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

I hate job interviewing "why are you interested in this job" I'm literally not? I do not want to do any of this.

"what can you bring to the company?" apprx. 40 hours a week of vague attempts at labor. maybe less if you guys suck.

-_- and :/ are irreplaceable emoticons that emojis will never be able to touch

literally 😑 & 😕

if you think 😕 has the same power as :/ you are a blind fool

Jason is so villain coded and that's why richard had to kill him off. Because if I had been used as a pawn by the gods not once but twice, when I was two years old and when I was 15 against my will, and my mom abandoned me with that express purpose giving me abandonment issues for years to come, and my older sister thought I was dead so she's moved on to better things before she found me again, and my gf broke up with me because she was questioning if our relationship was ever worth it based on fake memories she had that I didn't, and my first ever best friend died (but is actually alive), and the camp that I called my home that expected me to be their leader since I showed up as a toddler threw a brick at me the moment they suspected I was a traitor, and I was stuck at a boarding school alone miles away from the other camp I called a home etc etc all the while being THE honorable dutiful soldier I was expected to be. I would totally like. Become a bad guy. Literally there would be no other direction for my character to go. OH AND BY THE WAY i didn't even know my own birthday until I turned 16 <3 Jason would have deserved it

LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS people kept saying he parallels luke castellan weLL LET JASON PARALLEL HIM

jason the anti-hero will! yes! be mad at the gods but he won't recruit children into a massive army because THAT WAS WHAT WAS DONE TO HIM. HE WAS MADE INTO A CHILD SOLDIER so he won't go down luke's path into making OTHER PEOPLE CHILD SOLDIERS. luke wanted war JASON DOESN'T WANT WAR HE IS A DIFFERENT BREED OF VILLAIN

instead jason the anti-hero will still be righteous! moral! just very against the gods!!! sabotaging quests and upheaving prophecies and saving so many demigods from fated but untimely deaths!!! messing up the yarn of fate so much that he has to go on the run from the wrath of the gods! paralleling luke but in the OTHER DIRECTION do you see my vision

I genuinely think @staff should give us an official Bot Kill Count where it ticks up every time a bot you reported is officially taken off by the tumblr team and when you hit a certain number you get gruesome little trophies. Gamification can be of the devil but in this particular case I need a little treat for doing my daily chore of taking out the trash

every employer is like "do you want to work in a fast-paced environment? with flexible hours?" where are the slow pace environments with consistency instead

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who hasn’t updated anything in four years: I think about you often and I hope you’re alright
