thinking about that WoW epidemic

i was telling my dad, ever the skeptic, about corrupted blood back in March at the start of lockdown, and how the cdc studied it. how it can be used as a model for what to do and how people might act in the event of an unpredicted pandemic, and how people were playing out the same behavior during covid.

he said “so they fixed it, right? how did they fix it in the game?” and i told him the truth: they didn’t. they couldn’t control it. they had to reset the servers and roll them back to the time before the ZG encounter.

a CNN article recently referenced another “viral” event in world of warcraft: leeroy jenkins facepulling as a metaphor for the expedited reopening of businesses. what it fails to mention however is how the video ends. everyone who charges in with leeroy dies. he wipes the raid.

it really feels like that meme where it’s like “wow, cool video game reference!” and the point soaring over their head says THE DAMAGE WAS IRREVERSIBLE. THE THREAT SPREAD TOO RAPIDLY AND EVERYONE DIED.

(deleted my last post bc i’ll post the other one later lol sori)

Thank you clam man

forever reblog

You know what’s wild? Remembering that children hear things for the first time without context and are literally like, “What?”

I just said “See you later, alligator” to a four-year-old and I think it was the first time they had ever heard that.  They froze in their tracks, looked at me completely bewildered then replied, “See you later, chicken” and kept walking.

my sister has a substitute teacher from the UK who said “Cheerio!” at the end of class and obvi her response was “and froot loops to you” before walking out the door to the bus

Neat life hack: if you make your practice real thirsty then there’s no reason not to actually do the practice 👌

It’s almost Halloween, right? Anyways, here are some Vampire!Julian doodles.🦇

Tried to do something, didn’t turn out like I wanted, lost patience half-way through and half-assed it to finish - but I thought why let it rot away on the hard drive so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

was the eyebrow wiggle too much?

have this meme

oops i'm julian

As someone who got their shit together in their mid 20s I’m gonna leave you all with a word of advice.

Tumblr’s anti recovery stance  and myopic rabbit holes are bad for your mental health.

There are a lot of angry people on this site who have gone through some shit but never learned how to properly process what they went through so they lash out at anyone they can because it feels good and then wonder why their lives are so shitty. Part of my recovery was recognizing that I had my own culpability in my failure to recover and heal through what I went through and grow as a person.

You can’t survive on a diet of pure anger and rage. It will eat away at your soul and leave you alone and miserable.

This bitch

Really had the

to wait until I was romancing someone else to wear this

I did the thing!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Hope you dont mind the inclusion of my apprentice in this dumb lil comic, but I didn’t know how else to make the dialogue flow. lmao

*I also used photos of the Game Grumps as the base for this bc I mentioned Dan in the last post, and it wouldn’t be perfect without some kind of nod to them.
