How to hold your Crawly

an angel and a timelord walk into a bar……..

me if i was lobsta 🦞 monday

i just want to one day be loved like elle woods’ sorority sisters loved her

they all simply do not understand why elle wants to go to harvard so bad... yet they help her study, grade her tests, motivate her and all around fully support her from the moment she decides to go and never stop believing in elle not for a single second... like wow name me one sweeter moment in all of cinema, i’ll wait

sorry to be legally blonde blogging on main once again but i just wanted to talk about how easy it would’ve been to screw that movie up. the entire premise is based around a girl doing the most to get a guy, the main conflict of the film is the one between elle and viv, elle and her friends are stereotypical girly girls, etc - all that is just a perfect setup for a kind of passive aggressive lowkey misogynistic film that aims at actual feminist themes but falls short at #girlboss. but it doesn’t! while vivian is certainly catty to elle at first the insults aren’t sexist, vivian is just threatened but the confrontation is surprisingly and refreshingly... levelheaded? is the best way i can describe it. there is none of that one scene that a lot of 90’s movies seem to have where the two female protags have a fight where they insult each other’s appearance and then latch onto each other’s hair and yell bloody murder. ya know the one. there is none of that, none of the throwing around lowkey insults to women left and right, and in the end it works out quite beautifully because the only character we meet who is actually outright sexist is warner, which sets him up to be a gigantic asshole without having to have him like kill a kitten or something. it’s clever writing! and for a movie that came out in 2001 to toe that line between empowerment and sexism so well and come out the other side an enjoyable story with realistic women that does not fall under sexist tropes and stands the test of time is very admirable imo

anyway,

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Hello out there, I miss you if you disappear

This one gets me because I have been playing WoW off and on for, at this point, nearly 20 years. I have people on my ingame friendslist who have been offline for years, there were some before the BattleNet account merger that would be offline for over a decade now. Most are people who logged off after a "goodnight! we'll get that boss down tomorrow" message in guild chat and never came back for unknowable reasons.

I had a friends group blow-up in game and stopped playing for three years (a whole expansion) and when I came back, I would randomly get excited "You're back!" messages from people I'd met years ago, or people who had added my character to friends and not my account, and I'd just made an impression on them at some point.

If only we could bottle that very specific sort of empathy held for online friends we never really knew.

TODAY

guy who is definitely not about to fall into a surprise midday nap with an aftermath worse than a hangover: it seems like a really good idea to lay in bed and get cozy under the blanket as part of my plan not to fall asleep. I do not know why.

Also, because it's Tumblr I have to spell everything out. Use your own personal definition of what constitutes a major versus a minor holiday

↖ This user appreciates likes just as much as reblogs. They understand that likes are used to show support and to mark posts for later reblogging. They know that people have more than one blog and that likes are assigned to the main blog even when reblogs occur on sideblogs. 

This user is fully aware that reblogs are important in order for a post to reach a wider audience, but they still appreciate getting a ❤ because it means someone saw and acknowledged their post and making that connection with another person is important, even if the post doesn’t go any further than that. 

This user knows that sometimes a like is all of the interaction you can manage with a post, and this user wants you to know that that’s totally okay. You keep scrolling, you funky little tumblrite. 

This user hopes you have a great day.

Sorry, have to make my own post, I'm so happy

That's my 15 minutes of fame, I peaked in my life, I made those dolls and gave them to Michael yesterday evening at the stage door, I'm so happy they liked them and I'm also absolutely out of my mind. 😱

They are 2 sets, actually, for the two girlies ❣️

Anna shared this in her Insta, and I'm just over the moon and back 😭😭
