dealing with the worst case scenario

your condom breaks

you feel a lump on your breast

your friends are ignoring you

you’re stranded on an island 

you got rejected by a crush

you get into a car accident

you got stung by a bee/wasp

you got fired from your job

you’re in an earthquake

your tattoo gets infected

your house is on fire

you’re lost in the woods

you get arrested abroad

you get robbed

your partner cheated on you

you’re on a ship that’s sinking

you fall into ice

you’re stuck in an elevator

you hit a deer with your car

you have food poisoning

your pet passed away

you fall off of a horse

you or your friend has alcohol poisoning

you have toxic shock syndrome

your house has a gas leak

i will never stop people from hating a minecraft white boy (especially one who drives a tesla) but i do think its funny when i see hermitcraft fans hate grian for "being clique-y" or "ignoring the smaller hermits" . like. you mean the guy who starts server wide games every season? the guy who uploaded a 7 hour world tour? frankly for being one of the most popular guys on the server i think he does try to pull his weight sharing the love. unfortunately theres only so much you can do to try and lure an average grian subscriber into watching joe hills. thats like taking a mcdonalds loving 7 year old to a niche concept restaraunt that only serves meals in the shape of 1:1 scale models. actually this metaphor sucks if i was 7 i would love to eat an edible 1:1 scale pinball machine. i would love that now. post cancelled im organising a joe hills themed pop up café. everyone come with me. see my vision.

Very real take and also I would like to add:

People can have friends???? That they are closer to???? Than other friends???????

Like, why are we treating these PEOPLE like NUMBERS??? You’re telling me you’re upset because someone with a high sub count is not hanging out with the people with lower sub counts more regularly, but you don’t see how that is a WILD thing to get mad about?????????

Consider that maybe they aren’t hanging out because of their sub counts, but their sub counts might be because they are hanging out! Because they are close friends! And the content reflects that!!!

These are human beings bro, not puppets for your entertainment. Let them have fun with whoever they want 😭🙏

why does tumblr look different every two weeks but none of the essential features get fixed or worked on. we've been asking for a way to search in our likes for ten years. there are still no functional group chats. blog search is still only showing half the posts with the searched word in it. you still cant block a person from interacting with your sideblogs and you still cant block someone completely if theyre using a sideblog. you cant even send an ask from a sideblog. oh but thank goddddd the buttons are two pixels closer now and the notes bubble looks uglier with every update i dont know what i wouldve done without rounded post edges

the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

[skluug]

this is what ancient greek philosophy is like

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

False! “Sightly” is a positive word, so the default way for things to work is good as well.

The true most ordinary object is beautiful, horrible sounding, very smelly, intangible, and delicious.

I still don’t think it matches anything in existence but to truly understand a thing one must know its true nature.

[professionalchaoticdumbass]

"touchy" is also a word! however it's mostly used for things that aren't objects, like subjects of conversation. it either means "oversensitive and irritable" or "requires careful handling/wording, delicate"

i think the second one works well for our hypothetical object. so we can use that.

therefore, the Default Object is:

beautiful

makes a horrendous sound

smells absolutely awful

is very fragile

tastes delicious

and i still cannot think of anything that matches this

[and-a-pidgey-in-a-wepear-tree]

behold, the default object!

I live in Chicagoland and have family friends who are brown and undocumented. It’s not good here.

[rosethornewrites]

I want to specify that the US government ICE agents rapelled from Blackhawk helicopters to take over an apartment building, breaking open apartment doors in the middle of the night to drag barely-clad residents from their homes and detain everyone in UHaul trucks with the children zip-tied to each other. Regardless of citizenship.

There was too much traffic today, and an ICE agent deployed a tear gas canister in traffic in response.

This is not normal.

[theplaguebeast]

From the very bottom of my heart: what the ACTUAL FUCK

[rosethornewrites]

It’s not even near me yet, but where I live there’s lots of brown folks so they’ll come.

This is surreal. We’re being attacked by the United States.

[bisexualbaker]

"ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid" - MSN, published October 1st, 2025

[rosethornewrites]

Most mainstream media is barely covering it.

[bisexualbaker]

I genuinely wish I were surprised by that.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

Tim: Hey, Jason, have you seen my updog? Jason, bewildered: What the fuck is that? Steph: Oh, y'know, his updog. Jason: Oh yes, that definitely answers my question. Tim, eye twitching: Whatever. Have you seen my updog or not? Jason, exasperated: I'd answer you except you haven't told me what it is! Steph, this close to snapping: Stop avoiding the question, Jason. Have. You. Seen. His. Updog. Dick, who just came back home: Hey, guys, I- Dick, staring at Tim and Steph losing their shit at Jason: Dick, whispering: Dami, what the hell is going on? Damian, who goes to school with teenagers: Well, Richard, they- Damian: *pause* Dick: ? Damian, a certified little brother: Drake and Brown believe Todd took Drake's updog. Dick: Damian: Dick: Damian: Dick: ...what's updog? *all background bickering immediately cuts out* Tim: No. Way. Steph: That little shit- Damian, smug: I believe I am owed 80 dollars now.

I think the batkids deserve to have their own personal 'loud incorrect buzzer' for whenever someone lies. Just imagine:

Dick: So last week, Dami and I went to Batburger-

Damian: *loud incorrect buzzer noise*

Dick: ??

Damian: No, we didn't.

Dick:

Dick: Oh my god okay so it was TWO WEEKS AGO-

Damian, smug: Better.

Jason, snickering: This might be our best piece of gear yet.

(on comms, patrol)

Tim: Nightwing, a robbery just past the building on your left-

Steph: *loud incorrect buzzer noise*

Tim: What??? There is!

Steph: Yeah, but it's on his right, he turned around.

Tim: ...

Tim: Spoiler I'm rapidly approaching your location.

Steph, laughing: WAIT NO

Damian, meeting Tim in the Cave: Did you even go to sleep last night?

Tim, typing at the Batcomputer: Yeah.

Dick: *loud incorrect buzzer noise*

Tim: That doesn't count. He asked if I slept not where I slept.

Dick: I don't care. You falling asleep at the Batcomputer shouldn't count.

(on comms)

Bruce: No names on the field-

Jason: *loud incorrect buzzer noise*

Bruce: ...

Tim, absolutely losing it: What's even *wheeze* what's even incorrect about that?!

Jason: Nothin', he just annoyed me.

I recently learned that Jason’s favorite color is Green—or at least was green pre-death. So what if it still is green? But since half his persona is red hood, the color red has grown on him too.

So picture this. Christmas season comes and Jason doesn’t even have to decorate his apartment if he doesn’t want to. The primary decor colors in his apartment are already green and red.

[The door opens. Jason steps aside with a smug grin as his brothers walk into his apartment]

Dick, stopping in the doorway: …Wow

Tim, blinking hard: Did… did Santa Claus vomit in here?

Jason, clueless: Huh?

Damian, scanning the room like he’s in a crime scene: Drake is correct. This looks like Claus himself expired here

Jason, frowning: What are you talking about? It looks great

Dick, walking farther in, staring at the living room: Jason… your couch is Evergreen. Your carpet is wine red. Your pillows are—oh, look at that—red and green plaid

Tim, pointing at the lamp: Even your lamp has a red base with a mint green shade

Jason, shrugging, smug: And? Red and green are solid colors. Classic. Masculine. Bold

Tim, deadpanning: Bold is one word. Festively cursed is another

Dick, with a cheshire grin: You know, if you added a tree in the corner, you wouldn’t even have to decorate. You’re already living inside a Hallmark movie!

Jason, grinning wider: And yet you’re all still standing in my Hallmark movie, shoes off, and eating up the vibes

Damian, arms crossed: Correction—enduring the vibes

Tim, eyeing a green throw blanket with red stitching: I feel like if I sit down, Mariah Carey will just… materialize

Dick, laughs, flopping onto the couch: Don’t tempt fate, Tim. Jason probably has her on speed dial

Jason, dead serious: First of all, if I did have Mariah Carey on speed dial, I’d be bragging way more. Second, you all sound jealous

Damian: Of what? Your crime against interior design?

Jason, smirking: Of my commitment. Half of you don’t even know what your favorite color is

Tim, grins, leaning against the counter: Maybe… But I know Bruce’s is “darkness”

Dick: Nah, it’s “brooding gray”

Jason, snorts: Exactly. Meanwhile, I’ve got a theme. A palette. A brand

Damian, scowling: Congratulations. You are a Target holiday aisle

Dick, patting the couch: Yeah, but… kinda cozy tho

Tim, reluctantly nodding: …Okay, I hate to admit it, but he’s right

[Jason, smug as he can be]

Damian, muttering curses: If I start humming carols against my will, I’m going back to Nanda Parbat

Really really really want Corensupes and Battinson to interact just so there can be a moment where Bruce reveals that he knows Clark’s identity and we get something along the lines of:

Clark: How did you know!?!?

Bruce: You give yourself exclusive interviews all the time. Your only disguise is a pair of glasses. Honestly, I’m offended that you’re actually surprised I figured it out.

Clark: But they’re special glasses :(

Bruce:

Lois, in the distance: I TOLD YOU THE INTERVIEWS WERE STUPID!

Clark: . . . well Luthor hasn’t figured it out and he’s an evil genius. Insane, but still a genius. So. Yeah.

Bruce:

Bruce: Maybe I should just ban metas from Gotham
