A woman to look at my butt. And touch it. And tell me it's nice.

My husband and I were talking very deeply, including about how much he's changed as a person. Let me tell you I cried real tears. He said "I hope you like who I've become," I said "I love who you've become," and the man said "me too" Those two words were enough to send me over the emotional edge. He deserves that self love. And holy shit I can't believe he's found that in himself.

Honestly the biggest disappointment I had researching ABC was that medieval authors did not, in fact, see the creatures they were describing and were trying their best to describe them with their limited knowledge while going “what the fuck… what the fuck…”

Instead all those creatures you know came about from transcription and translation errors from copying Greco-Roman sources (who themselves got them from travelers’ tales from Persia and India - rhino -> unicorn, tiger -> manticore, python -> dragon, and so on).

So unicorns are real

behold… a unicorn

I always thought animals in medieval manuscripts looked like the result of having to draw say. A Tree Kangaroo, but your only source for what it looked like was your friend who heard it from a fellow who knows a man who swears he saw one once, whilst very drunk and lost, and I am SO PLEASED  to find out this is, in fact, the case.

Questing Beast

- Neck of a snake

- body of a leopard

- haunches of a lion

- feet off a hart (deer)

So is it

This perfectly encapsulates why I hate “The Big Bang Theory” (x)

Howard: So it’s settled! The fate of Doctor Who’s TARDIS will be decided by a Game of Thrones inspired death match on the battlefield of Thundercats versus Transformers.

Person filming: [audible tapping of spacebar key to pause video]

Person filming: [yelling loudly, accompanied by hand gestures ] FUCK YOU! WHERE WAS THE JOKE? 

Person filming: [still angry, more hasty] HE JUST FUCKING NAMED A BUNCH OF SHIT! HOW IS THIS COMEDY?

Person filming: [unpauses video]

Show: [laugh track, actors on screen awkwardly laughing]

Person filming: [overlapping audio of show, audibly irate] WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING? WHYYY?!?!

I fucking hate that show. This person is me.

Ready Player One (2018, directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the novel by Ernest Cline)

Fun fact:

I have never met a “nerd” that likes BBT and the one really fervent fan I met was a coach from my High School that was probably the sort of meathead that bullied “nerds” back in the day.

The show isn’t actually made for Geeks, it’s made for people that want to feel like Geeks now that being one is trendy and don’t actually know anything about nerdy sub-cultures beyond stereotypes.  

I don’t know the context of this scene, but the fact that they felt the need to specify ‘Doctor Who’s TARDIS’ like the audience wasn’t going to know which TARDIS they were talking about supports this theory.

Also, if you refer to the Doctor as ‘Doctor Who’, every nerd within a five mile radius will frantically come running to correct you.

where’s that picture thats like “laugh track plays despite the absence of a joke”
