I always feel so cheated in stories when characters are walking around with this Big Guilt and then...you find out that the thing wasn't their fault at all. And not in a "they thought they did it but it turns out they were set up" way, or even a "accepting that just because they did A which caused B which caused C it doesn't mean C was their fault", way but where they finally lay out the sequence of events and it's clear that any thinking person would not connect them. Like, fucking commit!!! The character isn't LESS compelling if they actually did the thing! You can't have the haunted brooding meow meow who is...also completely blameless

Does anyone remember some kind of...art piece I guess? Or maybe a graph? It was laying out the songs and leitmotifs in Hamilton and where they appeared in any form. It visually laid out the recurring elements of the musical so clearly and interestingly, but I can't remember enough about it to even adequately search for it. Does this jog anyone's memory? It would have been from 2015 or 2016 and, wow flash from the past, I believe LMM reblogged it on his Tumblr.

Your just saying that because your a sick pervert who gets off to themes and ideas

emotional responses are deeply evolutionarily advantageous in any animals that are making complex decisions and behaviors (in many vertebrates, say) because they act as a reinforcer for a behavior. a bird taking a vigorous bath in a puddle is probably happy because if that behavior didnt elicit a positive feeling they wouldn't do it (it is dangerous to be on the ground and wet!). if an animal can feel fear, which i think is a less contested assertion to make, then it can certainly feel the opposite, that is, happy.

surely i am able to write poems celebrating grass and how the blue in the sky can flow green or red and the waters lean against the chesapeake shore like a familiar, poems about nature and landscape surely but whenever i begin “the trees wave their knotted branches and . . .” why is there under that poem always an other poem?

There is a frozen meal in our communal break room freezer. It has been in there at least two months. The only reason it is still in there is because we’ve been extraordinarily lazy about cleaning out the fridge. It is the exact frozen meal that I bring in (Trader Joe’s butter chicken) but I know for a fact that this one isn’t mine. I do have a lunch today, but it’s sad and it sucks. If I took this frozen meal, I would replace it next week with one of my own.

How morally acceptable is it to steal this lunch?

You would be morally righteous. Someone’s gotta clean out the freezer.

You would go directly to coworker hell for the premeditated lunch theft.

young old person tip for you all. go get some photos printed (pauses so someone can say bogos binted) and fill out a physical album

[sayaratyriea]

and annotate them with who is in the photos and when and where the photos were taken!!! your extended family 50 years from now will be grateful, and so will you if you end up forgetting any details

I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby

English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user. His favorite thing to say lately is "me when I'm a little hater" when he's like talking shit about the neighbor's son

no more mafia aus because theyre corny but if you HAVE to make one binghe should be trying his best to hide from shen yuan the fact that hes a mob boss and taking sy out to lavish restaurants and buying him specially bred flowers that cost $10k and shen yuan on their very first date was like "hes being super vague about where he works, has lots of money, and knows shang qinghua he must be in the mob."

binghe: what if.... i wasnt as good a person as you think? would you still spend time with me, yuan ge? sorry just forget i said that...

shen yuan, who knows very well binghe killed a man last night: how could that be?? my binghe is the sweetest <3
