according to my mother, my father proposed by asking her "are you willing to put up with my bullshit for the rest of your life" and her response was "if you're asking what I think you're asking, you'd better get on one knee and do it right"

I want to learn more exclamations that aren’t strictly just religious stuff. “Jesus Christ” this, “oh my god” that, nah I want something fresh.

What are some of y’all’s favorite exclamations that aren’t about god?

[sexboobomb]

had a friend who used to make new ones up on the spot. The only one that stuck with me was 'good golly jelly beans'. If something catastrophic happens I go for 'that's not ideal.'

Absolutely not letting you leave these in the tags.

A cultural favourite ...

"Cheese on bread." (my best guess is that it's sort of rhyming slang. Jesus = Cheesus. And what do you put cheese on? Bread.)

"What the bird?" + "What the rastaman?" (said like, 'What the fuck?')

wait everyone put in the tags where u were when u found out about the nationwide/global covid shutdown. i was eating a bag of chips on the roof of the remote building where i was leading a retreat and i had to help break the news to 50 high school students who didn’t have their phones

[johnbleepingzoidberg]

uhh guys, you know the kids are supposed to be the ones doing the science projects, right?

(both of the volcanoes explode and the entire school has to evacuate)

(ratchet and soundwave cope by splitting a bottle of wine later that evening before going and paying their husbands’ bail)

—

i had sm fun designing the waves for this au. i’ll probably do a little bit of tweaking but overall im happy with the designs. i tried to almost make them parallel wheeljack and ratchet in a way— shockwave’s lower arms/sleeves (?) are inverted from wheeljack’s and they both have a rounder upper torso, although shockwave’s is sharper. soundwave and ratchet have the same shape of upper torso, but like WJ’s and shockwave’s arms, the shapes are inverted from each other. then they both have the sharp chevron things and the armor on the sides of their helmet. a lot of this came from their original G1 designs of course, it’s not like im totally inventing their designs here, but i def tried to play into the whole “these are the evil versions of wheeljack and ratchet and grimlock in the neighborhood” concept while simplifying their designs for this au/style. also here’s the bg on its own—

thank you to everyone that’s been leaving nice comments in the tags/sending me asks about this au! and thank you @goose-theseeker for giving me ideas on how to incorporate wavewave and rumble and frenzy into this au as well!

[a-mel0n]

reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years

What's a book written by a woman that changed your life or that you consider a classic? Any genre, any language.

“Annie John” by Jamaica Kincaid.

I do not know how other countries do it, but here, they teach English Lit, and other Comprehension exercises via these little blurbs of stories. Some are Caribbean, some aren't.

I remember distinctly coming across the description of the 'Red Girl' character. Hearing how the author described her.

Ironically enough, I don't think I ever finished the book, but that passage just stuck out to me as a kid. Very poignant in a weirdly yearning, sort of way.

(And I always remembered the author's name because it seemed so unique.)

When I got older and I was reading up on the book, seeing that it was a sort of ... same-sex love story (an angle the author has always denied) made me go: "Oh. Okay, that's why it sounds like that."

Particularly, the author's description that any same-sex relationship between the protagonist and her best friend was just 'practicing'. Considering that the author has the tendency to write Who She Knows (i.e. herself), it's really made me wonder.

Anyways.

Read more Caribbean authors.
